Description

CAS: 87-88-7 | C6H2Cl2O4 | 208.978 g/mol

Chloranilic acid is used in spectrophotometry. It reacts with metal ions to form stable complexes. It is also used as a reactant in the preparation of dimethylbipyridyl complexes and (nonylbenzimidazolylmethyl)benzene. Further, it is used in charge-transfer reactions with metoprolol tartrate. It is also employed in the synthesis of osmium metalla-rectangles with anticancer activity. In addition to this, it has potential antibacterial activities against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.

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.
