Potassium bromate
Potassium bromate (CAS: 7758-01-2), with the linear formula KBrO3, is a potassium salt of bromic acid and an inorganic compound with a molecular weight of 167.00 g/mol. It is recognised as a powerful oxidizing agent and a brominating agent, particularly effective for deactivated aromatic compounds. Available from TSS as an ACS reagent grade, it is suitable for demanding laboratory and synthesis applications.
Brominating Agent in Organic Synthesis
Potassium bromate serves as a potent brominating agent, particularly useful for the synthesis of brominated organic compounds from deactivated aromatic substrates. Its effectiveness allows for controlled bromination reactions in advanced chemical research and development.
Analytical Reagent
As an ACS reagent grade substance, Potassium bromate is employed in analytical chemistry. It can be used as a standard in titrations, for instance, in the determination of certain organic compounds or as an oxidising agent in specific analytical procedures.
Oxidising Agent
Potassium bromate is a strong oxidising agent. This property makes it valuable in specific chemical processes where controlled oxidation is required, although its use is often limited due to safety considerations.
