Product Overview
Iodoethane with silver wire stabilizer is a high-purity alkylating agent designed for precision in organic synthesis. This ACS reagent-grade chemical ensures 99% purity, making it ideal for demanding laboratory applications where consistency and reliability are critical. The silver wire stabilization enhances shelf life and maintains reactivity, preventing premature degradation. Its clear, colorless liquid form allows for easy handling and accurate measurement in experimental setups. The compound’s molecular structure (C2H5I) facilitates efficient nucleophilic substitution reactions, a cornerstone of many synthetic pathways. Packaged in a 100 ml amber glass bottle, it provides protection against light-induced decomposition while maintaining chemical integrity. The tight-sealing cap prevents moisture contamination, ensuring long-term stability. This reagent is particularly valued in research environments where trace impurities can compromise experimental outcomes. The silver wire inclusion serves as a scavenger for potential iodide ions, further enhancing the reagent’s stability during storage and use. Its volatility requires proper ventilation during handling, while its solubility in common organic solvents makes it versatile for various reaction conditions.
FAQs
