Quality Control

Our 3-[(4-Bromobenzyl)Oxy]Benzoyl Chloride is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation by NMR and IR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and process chemistry. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment. We support compliance with REACH and other global regulatory frameworks.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and must be kept under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent decomposition. Keep away from heat, open flames, and incompatible materials such as strong bases, alcohols, and amines.
