Benzhydryl chloride was used as initiator during the controlled radical polymerization of styrene catalyzed by ionic iron complex. It was also used as the starting reagent in the synthesis of trimethylhydroquinone derivatives.
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.
