What is 1-(4-Biphenylyl)-1-ethanol used for?
+
It is used mainly as an organic building block and synthetic intermediate. The biphenyl scaffold combined with a reactive secondary benzylic alcohol makes it a versatile starting material for further chemical synthesis and laboratory research, rather than a finished end-use product.
What is the CAS number and molecular formula of 1-(4-Biphenylyl)-1-ethanol?
+
The CAS number is 3562-73-0. The molecular formula is C14H14O (linear formula C6H5C6H4CH(OH)CH3), with a molecular weight of 198.26 g/mol. Its MDL number is MFCD00016859 and its EC number is 222-629-1.
What grade and purity does Tech Serve Solutions supply?
+
Tech Serve Solutions supplies 1-(4-Biphenylyl)-1-ethanol at 97% assay as a technical/research-grade reagent. It has a literature melting point of 95-97 deg C. We do not represent this material as USP, BP or EP pharmacopoeial grade; a Certificate of Analysis is provided with each batch.
What are the handling and safety considerations for this compound?
+
Handle as a laboratory chemical using good chemical hygiene. Recommended personal protective equipment includes eye protection, gloves and an N95 (US) or P1 (EN143) respirator filter to avoid dust inhalation. It is classified WGK 3 (highly hazardous to water in Germany), so prevent release to drains, soil and watercourses. Consult the Safety Data Sheet before use.
How is 1-(4-Biphenylyl)-1-ethanol packed, shipped and exported?
