Description
Benzyl alcohol is an aromatic primary alcohol supplied at min. 98 % purity in Ph.Eur. quality. It is identified by CAS number 100-51-6 and empirical formula C₇H₈O, with a molar mass of 108,14 g/mol and a density of 1,041 g/cm³. The boiling point is 205,3 °C and the flash point is 100,4 °C, characterising a moderately high-boiling solvent and intermediate suitable for controlled laboratory handling. Ph.Eur. grade supports pharmaceutical and pharmacopoeia-oriented work, including solvent use, intermediate synthesis, and formulation studies that require documented quality. The aromatic alcohol structure is widely applied where a benzyl-type solvent or building block is needed. This material is EG number 202-859-9 completes the chemical identity set. With clearly stated purity, density, and thermal data, the product provides a reliable Ph.Eur. benzyl alcohol option for laboratories that specify pharmacopoeia-grade reagents in synthesis, sample preparation, and related applications.
This article is part of Analytical grade solvents (p.a.), in Solvents.

Questions about Benzyl alcohol, min. 98 %, Ph.Eur., 500 ml, glass
What is this article?
Benzyl alcohol, min. 98 %, Ph.Eur., 500 ml, glass 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.
Shelves beside this one are HPLC & LC-MS grade solvents, Dry & deuterated solvents (NMR, synthesis), Technical & synthesis grade solvents and Green & alternative solvents.
What should I check before I order?
The technical information on this page is the manufacturer's sheet. Read that, not a rewritten specification.
When this page shows a safety data sheet, use that manufacturer file. Hazard text does not belong in the sales description. For a pack size, a grade or a certificate that is not on the page, send a quote request or contact the team.
