AL3168 Aluminum Bromide (CAS No. 7727-15-3)

Aluminum Bromide Description

Aluminum Bromide is a highly water-soluble crystalline Aluminum source for uses compatible with Bromides and lower (acidic) pH. Most metal bromide compounds are water-soluble for use in water treatment, chemical analysis, and ultra-high purity for certain crystal growth applications. The bromide ion in an aqueous solution can be detected by adding carbon disulfide (CS2) and chlorine. Aluminum Bromide is generally immediately available in most volumes. Ultra-high purity and high purity compositions improve both optical quality and usefulness as scientific standards. Nanoscale elemental powders and suspensions, as alternative high surface area forms, may be considered.

Stanford Advanced Materials (SAM) produces many standard grades when applicable, including Mil Spec (military grade); ACS, Reagent and Technical Grade; Food, Agricultural and Pharmaceutical Grade; Optical Grade, USP and EP/BP (European Pharmacopoeia/British Pharmacopoeia) and follows applicable ASTM testing standards. Typical and custom packaging is available. Additional technical, research, and safety (MSDS) information is available as is a Reference Calculator for converting relevant units of measurement.

Aluminum Bromide Applications

Alkylation, bromination, and isomerization catalyst in organic synthesis. Aluminum Bromide acts as a strong Lewis acid and is used in Lewis acid-promoted reactions such as epoxide ring openings. It is used as a catalyst for Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction. It also finds application in bromination and isomerization reactions in organic synthesis. It is also used in the polymerization reaction to prepare poly(o-xylene) from benzocyclobutene.
