4-Bromoaniline is used as a precursor in the production of azo dyes and dihydroquinazolines. It is also used as carbon and nitrogen supplement in the culture medium of Moraxella sp. strain G. Further, it is employed in the preparation of para-bromobiphenyl through Gomberg-Bachmann reaction. In addition to this, it is used as a building block in the preparation or pharmaceutical and organic compounds.
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.
