Veratrole, 99%

Description

CAS: 91-16-7 | C8H10O2 | 138.166 g/mol

It is useful for organic synthesis of aromatic compounds. Veratrole is relatively electron-rich and thus readily undergoes electrophilic substitution.

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. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.

Applications
It is useful for organic synthesis of aromatic compounds. Veratrole is relatively electron-rich and thus readily undergoes electrophilic substitution.

Solubility
Soluble in alcohol, diethyl ether, acetone, and methanol. Slightly soluble in water.

Notes
Store at room temperature. Keep away from oxidizing agents.
