Product Overview
Biphenyl 99% for synthesis is a high-purity aromatic hydrocarbon widely used as a reagent in organic chemistry and analytical laboratories. This crystalline solid exhibits excellent thermal stability and low reactivity, making it a reliable choice for precise applications where consistency is critical. Its non-hygroscopic nature ensures long-term stability under standard storage conditions, while its compatibility with common organic solvents allows seamless integration into various experimental protocols. The synthesis grade purity (99%) guarantees minimal impurities, reducing the risk of side reactions or experimental deviations. Whether used as a reference standard, intermediate, or solvent additive, this biphenyl variant delivers reproducible results without compromising integrity. The product is packaged in airtight containers to prevent contamination and oxidation, preserving its quality until use. Researchers and chemists favor this grade for its balance of affordability and performance, particularly in reactions requiring a stable aromatic framework. Note that while biphenyl is generally low in acute toxicity, standard lab safety practices should be followed during handling and disposal.
FAQs
1. What is the melting point of Biphenyl 99% synthesis grade?
The melting point of this biphenyl grade is approximately 69–72°C, which aligns with its high-purity specification.
2. Can this biphenyl be used as a solvent for recystallization?
While biphenyl itself is not typically used as a recystallization solvent, it can dissolve in common organic solvents like ethanol, toluene, or acetone for purification processes.
3. Is this product compatible with polar and non-polar solvents?
Yes, Biphenyl 99% exhibits good solubility in non-polar solvents like hexane and toluene, while its solubility in polar solvents such as water is negligible.
4. How should Biphenyl 99% be stored to maintain its purity?
Store the product in a tightly sealed container, away from direct light and moisture, at room temperature (15–25°C). Avoid exposure to oxidizing agents.
5. Are there lower-purity alternatives available for cost-sensitive applications?
For applications where 99% purity is not critical, technical-grade biphenyl (typically 95–97% purity) may be a more economical option, though it may contain trace impurities.
