Description
2-Bromo-4-methoxybenzyl alcohol is a halogenated aromatic alcohol offered at a minimum purity of 95 % for synthetic and biochemical applications. Identified by CAS number 163190-79-2, it has the empirical formula C₈H₉BrO₂ and a molar mass of 217,06 g/mol. The molecule features a bromo substituent and a methoxy group on the benzyl alcohol core, providing a versatile handle for further functionalisation, protection strategies and cross-coupling chemistry. This listing corresponds to size appropriate for method development, small-scale synthesis and reference work. Accurate molar-mass and formula data support precise weighing and reaction planning. Available from manufacturer Carl ROTH, the reagent is suited to medicinal-chemistry routes, intermediate preparation and laboratory studies that require a defined bromo-methoxybenzyl alcohol scaffold. Its clear specification profile aids reproducibility in organic synthesis, screening and analytical workflows where controlled purity and reliable identity are essential.

Questions about 2-Bromo-4-methoxybenzyl alcohol, min. 95 %, 5 g
What is this article?
2-Bromo-4-methoxybenzyl alcohol, min. 95 %, 5 g is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Analytical grade solvents (p.a.), inside Solvents, in Lab chemicals.
An analytical-grade solvent, often marked p.a., has impurity limits tight enough for classical analysis and for preparing reagents. It is not automatically low enough in UV absorbance for HPLC, and it is not dry enough for a water-sensitive reaction. The grade is the purchase.
A solvent dissolves. The grade says which impurities are low enough for the method. Analytical grade is the ordinary pure solvent. HPLC and LC-MS grades limit the absorbance and the ions that would become peaks or background. A dry solvent has had water removed. A deuterated solvent is for NMR, where the hydrogen signal would otherwise drown the sample. Technical grade is for cleaning and for synthesis that does not need a chromatogram. Identity is on PubChem. Names follow IUPAC. Hazards follow ECHA, the CLP Regulation and REACH.
Which category should I open next?
The category is Solvents. The sub-category is Analytical grade solvents (p.a.). The catalogue is Lab chemicals.
