Product Overview

1-Chlorobutane, 99.5% anhydrous, is a high-purity alkyl halide supplied in AcroSeal® packaging to ensure moisture-free storage and extended shelf life. This colorless liquid is widely recognized for its role as a solvent and alkylating agent in organic synthesis, offering excellent reactivity under controlled conditions. The anhydrous grade eliminates water interference, making it suitable for sensitive reactions where trace moisture could compromise results. Its low boiling point (78°C) and moderate polarity allow for efficient use in extraction processes, while its compatibility with common organic solvents enhances versatility in laboratory workflows. The AcroSeal® technology provides an additional layer of protection against atmospheric contamination, preserving the compound’s integrity until use. Whether employed in nucleophilic substitution reactions or as a medium for recrystallization, this reagent delivers consistent performance with minimal impurities. The 1-liter and 100-mL pack sizes cater to both large-scale applications and precise small-volume requirements, ensuring flexibility for diverse experimental needs.

FAQs

1. What is the shelf life of anhydrous 1-Chlorobutane in AcroSeal® packaging?

The AcroSeal® packaging extends shelf life to 24 months when stored unopened at room temperature, as the seal prevents moisture absorption and oxidation.

2. Can this grade of 1-Chlorobutane be used for Grignard reagent preparation?

Yes, the 99.5% anhydrous purity makes it suitable for Grignard reactions, as the absence of water prevents side reactions with the organomagnesium intermediate.

3. How does the AcroSeal® packaging differ from standard bottles?

AcroSeal® features a resealable septum and inert gas headspace, reducing exposure to air and humidity compared to traditional screw-cap bottles.

4. Is this compound compatible with glassware and PTFE-lined equipment?

It is fully compatible with borosilicate glass and PTFE, but avoid prolonged contact with rubber or certain plastics, as it may cause swelling or degradation.

5. What precautions should be taken during storage to maintain purity?

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and ignition sources, and keep the container tightly sealed to prevent moisture ingress and volatility losses.
