    Application Areas

    Organic synthesis intermediates: used for synthesizing drugs, pesticides, or other fine chemicals, such as preparing halogenated hydrocarbon derivatives or ether compounds through further reactions.
    Pharmaceutical research and development: It may be used as a chiral alcohol for drug molecule construction or for studying bioactive substances.
    Solvent or additive: acting as a polar solvent or participating in a specific reaction

    Storage conditions

    Environmental conditions: Store in a cool, dry, well ventilated area, away from direct sunlight.
    Suggested temperature: 2-8 ° C (refrigerated) or according to the supplier’s requirements (if long-term storage is required).
    Container selection: Use glass or corrosion-resistant plastic containers with good sealing to prevent volatilization or moisture absorption.
    Isolation measures: Keep away from oxidants, strong acids, strong bases, and sources of ignition to avoid incompatible reactions.

    Safety precautions

    Health hazards: Although there is no direct data, compounds such as chlorinated alcohols may be irritating to the skin and eyes. Protective equipment (such as gloves and goggles) should be worn during operation.
    Leakage treatment: In case of leakage, the contaminated area should be isolated and professionally disposed of after being adsorbed with sand.
    Risk of explosion: There are currently no reports of explosion, but contact with oxidants should be avoided
