Description
2,2-Paracyclophane is an aromatic cyclophane hydrocarbon with the empirical formula C₁₆H₁₆ and a molar mass of 208,3 g/mol, registered under CAS number 1633-22-3. The compound exhibits a boiling point of 320,7 °C. Its bridged aromatic framework makes it a useful building block and model system in organic synthesis, polymer chemistry, and studies of through-space electronic interactions. Researchers use 2,2-paracyclophane in the preparation of functionalised cyclophane derivatives, specialty monomers, and reference structures for spectroscopic and structural investigations. This material is available from manufacturer Carl ROTH in a quantity suited to multi-step synthetic campaigns and scale-up trials at the bench. The clearly defined molecular formula and physical data support reproducible experimental design in academic and industrial laboratories working with strained aromatic systems. Handle and store according to standard practices for organic solids of this type.

Questions about 2,2-Paracyclophane, 250 g
What is this article?
2,2-Paracyclophane, 250 g 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.
