Geranyl bromide
ISO 9001:2015 & ISO 14001:2015 certified · Supplying laboratories and industry since 2000 · Certificate of Analysis with every batch
Geranyl bromide is an organic halide used primarily as a building block in synthetic fragrances, flavor compounds, and pharmaceutical intermediates due to its geraniol-derived structure. It serves as a key reagent in organic synthesis, enabling the creation of complex molecules through bromination reactions. This chemical has a CAS number of 6138-90-5, with the molecular formula C10H17Br and a molecular weight of 217.15 g/mol. It must be stored between 2 to 8°C and carries a signal word of "Warning" for its moderate hazard profile. Molekula supplies Geranyl bromide from research to bulk quantities with full documentation and ISO 9001:2015 traceability.
