2,5-Dibromothiophene is an important brominated heterocyclic compound widely used as a key intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly for pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. This halogenated thiophene derivative has a boiling point of 211°C (lit.), melting point of -6°C, and density of 2.147 g/mL at 25°C. It is practically insoluble in water but soluble in common organic solvents like ethanol and ether. The compound should be stored in a dark place, sealed in dry conditions at room temperature. Safety precautions are required due to its irritant properties (GHS Category 3), including proper ventilation and use of personal protective equipment during handling
