Description

2-Bromo-9-xanthenone (CAS No. 56341-31-2) is a high-purity brominated xanthenone derivative with the molecular formula C₁₃H₇BrO₂. This compound is a valuable synthetic intermediate and building block in organic chemistry, particularly in the preparation of heterocyclic compounds, fluorescent dyes, and photoactive materials. Its IUPAC name, 2-bromoxanthen-9-one, reflects its structural features: a xanthenone core substituted with a bromine atom at the 2-position.

Our product is rigorously tested to ensure exceptional purity (>98%) and consistency, making it ideal for research applications in pharmaceuticals, materials science, and chemical synthesis. The compound is supplied as a fine, off-white to light yellow crystalline powder with excellent solubility in common organic solvents such as DMSO, THF, and dichloromethane.

Key applications include use as a precursor for the synthesis of xanthene-based fluorophores, as a photoinitiator in polymer chemistry, and as a scaffold for developing bioactive molecules. Proper handling precautions should be observed due to its potential sensitivity to light and moisture.
