α-Bromostilbene

α-Bromostilbene (CAS registry number 40389-50-2) is supplied as a chemical raw material for formulation and synthesis work. The molecular formula is C14H11Br, giving a molecular weight of 259.14 g/mol. This is a aromatic compound of 14 carbon with 1 heteroatom, built on a ring-unsaturated carbon skeleton; of medium-to-high molecular weight. Documents are issued per shipment rather than per catalogue entry: each batch is accompanied by a Certificate of Analysis, and safety data sheets, technical datasheets and third-party test reports are supplied on request for export documentation.

Product Overview

Applications

Organic Chemicals

Recorded applications for this entry: Organic Chemicals. Where your formulation differs, the relevant point to check is not the use category but the impurity profile — tell us the end use and we will map it to the specification.

For export enquiries, include the destination country and the intended application in your message. This lets us confirm whether the grade needs any additional documentation beyond the standard per-batch COA, and whether the packing suits the planned transport mode.

Packaging & Storage

Packing is per order / batch confirmation (not published) and purity is per batch COA (not published). Both are agreed at order stage; for export movements the packing is chosen with the transport mode and destination in mind, and drum, bag or repacked formats are all available. Storage: sealed, in a cool and dry place, away from direct sunlight.

Each shipment is accompanied by a batch Certificate of Analysis. For cross-border orders, MSDS, technical datasheets and third-party test reports can be issued to match your documentation set; declare the destination country when you enquire so the paperwork matches on arrival.

Quality & Documentation

COA (Certificate of Analysis) is provided with every batch. MSDS/technical data sheets and third-party test reports are available on request. Purity and packaging are subject to batch COA and order confirmation.

Molecular Character & Structure

What the formula implies

The molecule carries an aromatic carbon framework with 14 carbon and 11 hydrogen atoms; the H/C ratio of 0.79 is well below that of a saturated alkane, which points to ring-type unsaturation in the backbone. The resulting pi-electron system raises density and boiling point relative to a straight-chain hydrocarbon of the same carbon count.

No oxygen atom is present. With no hydroxyl, carbonyl or carboxyl group available, the material is dominated by a hydrophobic phase and lacks the polar reaction sites that make oxyfunctional products reactive.

The molecule contains 1 halogen atom(s). Halogen substitution raises molecular weight and hydrophobicity while altering the reactivity and metabolic stability of neighbouring groups, so its effect on the final impurity profile should be checked.

What this structure does

The structure is strongly lipophilic and essentially insoluble in water. Such skeletons dominate oil-based formulations, serving as solvent carriers, thickeners, film-formers or water-repellent components; when halogenated, they are also common working agents in cleaning and degreasing systems.

At 200~320 g/mol the molecule is medium-sized. It carries enough functional character and bulk to contribute film formation, thickening, opacity or release control within a formulation.

The aromatic backbone matters commercially: it separates this product from aliphatic alternatives in heat resistance, chemical stability and odour profile. A buyer substituting an aliphatic equivalent should re-validate the stability of the finished formulation.

Handling and storage implications

Handle with standard chemical precautions appropriate to halogenated organic material: avoid inhalation of dust or vapour and prevent skin contact. Where the product is classified for transport, confirm the packing group and UN number before shipping.

The lipophilic product should be pre-wetted or pre-dissolved in a compatible solvent before being introduced into an aqueous phase; adding it as a dry powder leads to floating, clumping and slow, incomplete dissolution.
