Description
Adamantane is a cage hydrocarbon for synthesis with a minimum purity of 99 %, It carries CAS number 281-23-2, EG number 206-001-4 and the empirical formula C₁₀H₁₆, with a molar mass of 136,24 g/mol. The rigid diamondoid framework of adamantane underpins its role as a building block and reference structure in organic synthesis and materials-oriented laboratory chemistry. Chemists employ this reagent when a stable, highly symmetrical C₁₀ scaffold is required for functionalisation, intermediate preparation or comparative studies. The product is available from manufacturer Carl ROTH in glass packaging suited to solid organic reagents of this type. At min. Clear identity data—CAS, formula and molar mass—facilitate documentation in electronic lab notebooks and purchasing systems. Use under standard synthetic-laboratory conditions with appropriate personal protective equipment and waste handling for organic solids.

Questions about Adamantane, min. 99 %, for synthesis, 25 g, glass
What is this article?
Adamantane, min. 99 %, for synthesis, 25 g, glass is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Organic building blocks & synthesis reagents, inside Organic chemicals & synthesis reagents, in Lab chemicals.
A building block is an organic molecule bought to become part of a larger one. The structure, the CAS number and the purity decide it. A 95 percent reagent and a 99.9 percent reagent of the same name leave different impurities in the product. The functional groups are the reason it was chosen.
An organic chemical is built on carbon. In this category it is a building block or a reagent for making another molecule: a starting material, a coupling agent, a polymer, a PEG. Purity is a specification of which impurities remain. The structure, the CAS number and the grade decide whether two bottles are the same substance. Structures and properties are on PubChem. Nomenclature is IUPAC. Classification follows ECHA and the CLP Regulation.
