Product Description:

3-Bromothiophene is a brominated heterocyclic organic compound belonging to the thiophene family. It consists of a five-membered sulfur-containing aromatic ring substituted with a bromine atom at the 3-position. This structural feature makes it an important building block in organic and medicinal chemistry.

It is widely used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, specialty chemicals, and functional materials. Due to its reactivity, 3-bromothiophene is frequently employed in cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki and Stille reactions for the construction of complex molecular frameworks.

The compound is suitable for laboratory research and industrial applications where high-quality halogenated heterocycles are required.

Storage & Handling:

Keep the container tightly closed when not in use. Store in a cool and well-ventilated place away from sources of ignition and incompatible substances. Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves and safety goggles, during handling.

Safety Information:

May be harmful if inhaled, swallowed, or absorbed through the skin. Avoid contact with eyes and prolonged exposure. Refer to the supplier’s Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed hazard, handling, and first-aid measures.
