1-Bromo-3-chloropropane is used in the preparation active pharmaceutical ingredient intermediate such as gemfibrozil and reproterol. It is also involved in the preparation of cardiovascular diseases and analgesic drugs materials. It is utilized as a phase separation reagent for the isolation of ribonucleic acid (RNA) in high quality. It is considered as a replacement of chloroform in nucleic acid separations.
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.
