Application Areas

Organic synthesis industry: used for preparing aromatic alcohol compounds: reacting with carbonyl compounds such as aldehydes, ketones, esters, etc. to generate corresponding secondary or tertiary alcohols (such as reacting with benzaldehyde to produce benzyl alcohol).
Drugs and Fine Chemicals: Participate as intermediates in the synthesis of fine chemicals such as antibiotics, fragrances, dyes, etc.
Laboratory research: It is a commonly used reagent for constructing complex molecular structures in organic chemistry experiments.

Storage conditions

Temperature and Environment: Sealed and away from light, stored in a dry and inert gas environment (such as nitrogen protection) at low temperatures (0-5 ℃).
Packaging requirements: Sealed steel cylinders or Schlenk bottles filled with argon gas should be used to protect transportation and avoid contact with air.
Taboo substances: Keep away from water, acid, alcohol, oxidants, and carbon dioxide

Safety precautions

Operation protection: Wear goggles and chemical resistant gloves, and operate in a fume hood. Operators need to receive professional training to avoid inhaling steam or coming into contact with the skin.
Fire risk: Low flash point, keep away from sources of fire, do not use water to extinguish fires (use dry sand, dry powder, or carbon dioxide fire extinguishers).
Leakage treatment: Slowly quench the reaction with isopropanol, and then neutralize the waste liquid with weak acid. Emergency personnel are required to wear anti-static clothing and eliminate all ignition sources.
First aid measures: Inhalation: Move to a place with fresh air; Skin/eye contact: Immediately rinse with clean water and seek medical attention
