4-Chlorobenzyl alcohol acts as a reagent for the protection of carboxyl groups as their 4-chlorobenzyl esters, more stable to acid than the corresponding benzyl esters. It is used as solvent in paint stripper and waterborne coatings. It acts as curing agent. It is also used in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, preservatives, and flavoring & fragrance agents.
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.
