Description

Used in manufacturing of photographic papers, engraving and lithography, in spectroscopy, and as an analytical lab reagent. Potassium bromide is applied as a veterinary drug, as an antiepileptic medication for dogs. It is utilized for the bromination of alkenes using cerium(IV) ammonium nitrate. It plays an essential role with diacetoxy iodobenzene for the efficient bromination of alkenes and alkynes.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand.
