Product Overview

Bromobenzene is a high-purity, clear, and colorless aromatic halogen compound widely used in organic synthesis and laboratory research. This AR-grade reagent ensures minimal impurities, making it ideal for precise chemical reactions, including Grignard synthesis, electrophilic substitutions, and as a solvent in specialized applications. Its stable molecular structure (C6H5Br) and consistent boiling point (156°C) provide reliable performance in controlled lab environments. The reagent is non-hygroscopic, ensuring long-term stability when stored under recommended conditions. Its low moisture content and high purity (99%+) minimize side reactions, enhancing experimental accuracy. Bromobenzene’s compatibility with common organic solvents like ethanol, ether, and chloroform further expands its utility in multi-step syntheses. For researchers and chemists, this reagent offers a dependable foundation for halogenation studies, intermediate preparations, and analytical procedures. Proper handling with standard lab safety measures is advised due to its mild irritant properties.

FAQs

1. What is the shelf life of Bromobenzene when stored properly?

When stored in a tightly sealed container away from direct sunlight and moisture, Bromobenzene retains its stability for up to 24 months from the date of manufacture. Always check the label for the exact expiry date.

2. Can Bromobenzene be used as a solvent for polar compounds?

Bromobenzene is a non-polar solvent and is more effective for dissolving non-polar or weakly polar organic compounds. For polar compounds, alternatives like methanol or acetone may be more suitable.

3. Is this Bromobenzene compatible with glassware and standard lab equipment?

Yes, Bromobenzene is compatible with borosilicate glass and most lab-grade plastic equipment like PTFE or HDPE. Avoid prolonged contact with rubber or latex as it may cause degradation.

4. What precautions should be taken while handling Bromobenzene?

Use standard lab safety measures, including gloves, goggles, and a fume hood, as Bromobenzene can irritate the skin, eyes, and respiratory tract. Avoid inhalation and ensure proper ventilation during use.

5. Are there any common alternatives to Bromobenzene for similar applications?

Depending on the application, alternatives like chlorobenzene or iodobenzene may be used, though their reactivity and physical properties differ. Always verify compatibility with your specific experimental requirements.
