Benzyl bromide（Cat No.:R019594）is an organic halide with the molecular formula C7H7Br, consisting of a benzene ring attached to a bromomethyl group. It appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a strong, irritating odor. Benzyl bromide is a highly reactive alkylating agent, commonly used in organic synthesis for introducing benzyl protecting groups on alcohols and amines. It also serves as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals, fragrances, and dyes. Due to its lachrymatory and toxic properties, it must be handled with caution under well-ventilated conditions and appropriate safety measures.
