Bromobenzenes are a group of halobenzenes formed in a substitution reaction between bromine and benzene with a hydrogen bromide biproduct. The name strictly refers to monobromobenzene, a benzene with a single bromine; however it can be used to refer to a benzene containing any number of bromine molecules.
Bromobenzene can be colorless, or a clear pale yellow, depending upon its concentration.
This is a toxic substance and can cause liver and nervous system damage if inhaled, ingested or absorbed through the skin.

See Chlorobenzene for extra detail as to the mechanism of the formation. Mechanism is by electrophillic substitution.
