Product Overview

1-Bromopentane 98% is a high-purity alkyl halide solvent designed for synthesis applications in organic chemistry. This clear, colorless liquid offers excellent solubility properties, making it suitable for a wide range of laboratory reactions. With a boiling point of approximately 129°C and a density of 1.22 g/cm³, it provides consistent performance in various experimental conditions. The 98% purity ensures minimal impurities, reducing the risk of side reactions and improving yield reliability. Its stable chemical structure allows for predictable behavior in halogenation, nucleophilic substitution, and other organic transformations. The solvent is packaged in amber glass bottles to prevent photodegradation and maintain purity during storage. Each batch undergoes rigorous quality control to meet laboratory-grade standards, ensuring reproducibility in research and development settings. The product’s low moisture content and high volatility make it particularly useful for extractions and purifications where precise control is required.

FAQs

1. What is the shelf life of 1-Bromopentane 98% when stored properly?
