Description

CAS: 108-86-1 | C6H5Br | 157.01 g/mol

Bromobenzene is used as solvent in organic synthesis. It is used to prepare the phenylmagnesium bromide, a Grignard reagent, an intermediate in the preparation of benzoic acid by reacting with carbon dioxide. It is a precursor for making phencyclidine. It is useful for the introduction of phenyl group through palladium-catalyzed coupling reactions viz. the Suzuki reaction.

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.
