Copper(II) bromide, 99%

Description

CAS: 7789-45-9 | CuBr₂

Copper(II) bromide is used in photographic processing as an intensifier and as a brominating agent in organic synthesis. It is also used in the coupling of o-iodophenols and aryl acetylenes avoiding the use of palladium. It finds application in the preparation of NK1/NK2 receptor antagonists used in the regulation of tachykinin.

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.
