Bromoacetyl bromide, 98%, Thermo Scientific Chemicals

Description

Bromoacetyl bromide is widely used in the synthesis of fine chemicals, agrochemicals, dyes and pharmaceuticals. As an acylating agent, it reacts with 10H-phenothiazine to give 10-bromoacetyl-10H-phenothiazine. Similarly, it is also involved in the preparation of bromoactylated starch which is a biodegradable thermoplastic copolymer.

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.
