Bromobenzene 99%

What is Bromobenzene? It is a colourless liquid, consisting of a benzene ring with one bromine atom substituted for a hydrogen atom. It is a versatile reagent in organic synthesis, acting as a solvent, a precursor to Grignard reagents for introducing phenyl groups, and a reactant in palladium-catalysed cross-coupling reactions. While useful, it can also be metabolised into potentially toxic intermediates.

Consistent Quality: We source only high-quality Bromobenzene ensuring reliable performance in any application.

Frequent Uses

Solvents
Used as a solvent in organic synthesis. 

Grignard Reagent
It is a precursor for phenylmagnesium bromide, a Grignard reagent used to introduce a phenyl group. 

Cross-Coupling Reactions
It participates in palladium-catalysed reactions such as the Suzuki coupling, which forms biaryl compounds, and the Mizoroki-Heck reaction, to create substituted alkenes. 

• Solvent in organic chemistry reactions
