Product Overview
Anisole LR is a premium-grade laboratory reagent known for its exceptional purity and consistent performance in analytical and synthetic applications. This colorless to pale yellow liquid, characterized by its distinct aromatic scent, is a versatile solvent widely used in organic chemistry, particularly in reactions requiring a stable, non-reactive medium. Its low moisture content and high boiling point make it an excellent choice for processes demanding precise control over reaction conditions. Anisole’s molecular structure, featuring a methoxy group attached to a benzene ring, contributes to its unique solubility properties, allowing it to dissolve both polar and non-polar compounds effectively. The LR grade designation ensures that this product meets stringent quality standards, with minimal impurities that could interfere with sensitive analytical techniques. Its compatibility with various organic solvents and reagents further enhances its utility in complex synthesis pathways. The product is carefully packaged to maintain its integrity during storage and transportation, ensuring that researchers receive a reliable, high-performance solvent for their critical laboratory work.
FAQs
1. What is the typical shelf life of Anisole LR when stored properly?
When stored in a tightly sealed container away from direct sunlight and moisture, Anisole LR maintains its specified purity for up to 24 months from the date of manufacture. Regularly check for any changes in appearance or odor before use.
2. Can Anisole LR be used as a substitute for other aromatic solvents like toluene?
While Anisole LR shares some properties with toluene, they have distinct chemical behaviors. Anisole is generally less toxic but has different solubility characteristics. Always verify compatibility with your specific application requirements before substitution.
3. What precautions should be taken when handling Anisole LR in the lab?
Use in a well-ventilated area or fume hood, wear appropriate personal protective equipment including gloves and goggles, and avoid inhalation or skin contact. The vapor can be irritating to the respiratory system and eyes.
4. How does the LR grade differ from other purity grades of anisole?
The LR grade is specifically formulated for general laboratory use with controlled impurity levels, while higher grades like AR or GR have even stricter purity specifications for more sensitive applications.
5. What is the recommended storage temperature for Anisole LR?
Store at room temperature between 15-25°C in a cool, dry place. Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures which could affect the container integrity or product quality.
