3-Bromotoluene was used in the precise determination of bromine isotope ratio in organic compounds by MC-ICPMS ( Multicollector-Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer). It undergoes palladium-catalyzed cyanation reaction in the presence of K4[Fe(CN)6] as the cyanide surrogate. It also undergoes palladium-catalyzed reaction with alkynyltriarylborates to yield trisubstituted alkenylboranes.
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.
