9-Bromoanthracene(CAS: 1564-64-3)

9-Bromoanthracene is a brominated aromatic hydrocarbon with the chemical formula C14H9Br. It is a solid at room temperature, characterized by its polycyclic structure and strong absorption in the ultraviolet spectrum. This compound is known for its use as a precursor in organic synthesis and exhibits properties typical of aromatic compounds, including stability and low solubility in water.

9-Bromoanthracene is primarily used in pharmaceutical research as a building block for drug development. It also finds applications in industrial chemistry for producing dyes, pigments, and materials. Additionally, it is employed in organic synthesis and as a probe in analytical chemistry due to its unique reactivity and spectroscopic properties.

9-Bromoanthracene is classified as a potential carcinogen and should be handled with caution. Safety measures include wearing protective gloves, goggles, and lab coats, and working in a well-ventilated area. It meets safety standards for controlled chemical use but requires adherence to OSHA and EPA guidelines to minimize health and environmental risks.

9-Bromoanthracene should be stored in a cool, dry place (ideally below 25°C), away from light and air. Use airtight, light-resistant containers to maintain stability. Keep it in a fume hood to prevent exposure and avoid contact with incompatible substances to ensure long-term safety and integrity.
