1,2-Dibromotetrachloroethane, 97%

Description

CAS: 630-25-1 | C2Br2Cl4 | 325.63 g/mol

1,2-dibromotetrachloroethane is used as a fire-proofing agent. It is actively involved in the conversion of sulfones to alkenes by Ramberg-Backlund rearrangement. It is an effective replacement for ozone depleting solvents like dibromodifluoromethane and tetrabromodifluoroethane. It is also utilized as a brominating reagent. In analytical chemistry, it is used in quantitative determination of perhalogenated compounds by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
