Di-p-tolyl ether, 99%

Description

CAS: 1579-40-4 | C14H14O | 198.265 g/mol

Di-p-tolyl ether is used to form conformationally chiral molecules in the solid state, while the chirality of 1,3-dimethyl-2-phenoxybenzene arises from the formation of supramolecular helices.

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.
