4-Bromoveratrole, 97%

Description

CAS: 2859-78-1 | C8H9BrO2 | 217.062 g/mol

4-Bromo-1,2-dimethoxybenzene is a metabolite of bromobenzene, with a catechol moiety in the substructure. It also has use as a redox shuttle additive, essentially a component in lithium batteries that consumes excess current during overcharge. And also used in the synthesis of the isoquinoline alkaloid (-)-mesembrine.

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.
