Bromobenzene is an aromatic organic compound used in organic synthesis, particularly in Grignard reactions and Suzuki couplings. It is also used as a dense, non-polar solvent, notably for large-scale crystallisations, and as an additive in certain motor and lubricating oils. It serves as a key intermediate in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and specialty chemicals. Available in 100g, 500g, and 1kg packaging with purity ≥99%. Stored at ambient temperature. CAS: 108-86-1, Molecular formula: C6H5Br, Molecular weight: 157.02. Signal word: Warning. Molekula supplies Bromobenzene from research to bulk quantities with full documentation and ISO 9001:2015 traceability.
