Benzo-15-crown-5 is used in synthetic chemistry. It plays a major role and involved in complexation through ether oxygen. It is used in phase-transfer catalyst system. It is involved in 'Host-Guest' chemistry to identify the move of essential elements in the body. It can play the part of very complicated biological reactions such as enzyme functions, which finds application in the development of new pharmaceuticals.
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.
