Chloroform by Research Lab Fine Chem Industries is a high grade reagent. Also known as trichloromethane, this is an organochlorine compound. The reagent is available as a liquid which is soluble in benzene. It has a melting point of 63.5 C and a boiling point of 61.15 C. Chloroform is industrially produced by heating a mixture of chlorine and either chloromethane or methane. While it is stable under general conditions, this reagent is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents. CAS No.: 67-66-3 Quantity Provided: 100 ml per bottle Molecular formula: CHCl3 Molecular weight: 119.38 Assay: Minimum 99.8 % Suitable for molecular biology Chloroform has a variety of applications in chemical and biological sectors. This reagent finds applications in the organic synthesis of various derivatives. Chloroform reacts with hydrogen fluoride to yield monochlorodifluoromethane, a precursor in the production of polytetrafluoroethylene (Teflon). It is additionally used in pesticide formulations, and as a solvent for fats, oils, rubber, alkaloids, waxes, gutta-percha, and resins. Chloroform is additionally a well-known anaesthetic. It serves as a source of the dichlorocarbene when used as a reagent. This reagent is suitable for industrial synthesis of products and research applications.
