Boron tribromide, 1M soln. in dichloromethane, Thermo Scientific Chemicals
Description
Boron tribromide is used as a reactant for luminescent polystyrene derivatives with sterically protected carbazolylborane moieties, high-quality boron-doped graphene via Wurtz-type reductive coupling reaction and micrometer-sized organic molecule-DNA hybrid structures. It is also used in bromination and cyclization reactions to prepare cyclopenta[1,3]cyclopropa[1,2-b]pyrrolizin-8-one. It acts as a liquid boron source used in p-type deposition processes.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
