2-Bromofluorene, 95%, Thermo Scientific Chemicals

Description

2-Bromofluorene acts as a nonintrusive end-capping reagent in order to control molecular weights as well as in the generation of well-defined oligomers. It is used to prepare 2-bromo-9-cyclohepta-2,4,6-trienyl-9H-fluorene and 9,9-dihexylflorene. In addition to this, it is used in the preparation of poly(di-n-hexylfluorene)s end capped with 2-bromofluorene, 2-bromo-9,9-di-n-hexylfluorene and 9-bromoanthracene through Ni(0) mediated polymerization.

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.
