Description
4-Bromo-2,6-difluorobenzyl alcohol is a halogenated benzyl alcohol building block supplied at a minimum purity of 95 % for laboratory and research use. It is defined by CAS number 162744-59-4 and the empirical formula C₇H₅BrF₂O, with a molar mass of 223,01 g/mol. The bromine and fluorine substitution pattern on the aromatic ring makes this intermediate relevant for selective functional-group transformations, cross-coupling sequences, and the preparation of more complex fluorinated scaffolds in medicinal and materials chemistry. This reagent is available from manufacturer Carl ROTH and fits workflows in organic synthesis, biochemical probe design, and structure–activity studies. Its defined molecular weight and documented identity facilitate accurate weighing, stock-solution preparation, and analytical verification. Researchers can integrate 4-bromo-2,6-difluorobenzyl alcohol into multi-step routes that exploit benzylic alcohol reactivity while retaining the halogen handles for later diversification, supporting efficient exploration of structure–property relationships in modern chemical research environments.

Questions about 4-Bromo-2,6-difluorobenzyl alcohol, min. 95 %, 10 g
What is this article?
4-Bromo-2,6-difluorobenzyl alcohol, min. 95 %, 10 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.
