Product Core Data
(2-bromoethyl)benzene (2-Phenylethyl bromide; β-Bromoethylbenzene), CAS 103-63-9, C8H9Br, Mw 185.06, is a colourless to pale-yellow clear liquid with a characteristic aromatic odour. Immiscible with water, it dissolves readily in ethanol, ether and most organic solvents. The bromine at the β-position of the ethyl side chain confers specific reactivity and spatial geometry, making it a versatile aromatic halide for pharmaceutical, agrochemical and materials applications.
Specifications & Quality Control
As China’s leading producer of (2-bromoethyl)benzene, we supply standard grade ≥98.5 % (GC) and can upgrade to ultra-high purity on request. Advanced fractional distillation under strict QC gives ultra-low moisture, acid value and trace impurities. Every lot is GC-analysed and shipped with a COA for reliable scale-up from laboratory to multi-ton production.
