Product Information

• Name: alpha-Fluorostyrene
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Styrene is a synthetic monomer that belongs to the group of cycloalkanes. It is a colorless, volatile liquid with a boiling point of at least 100°C and a viscosity of 0.5-2 mm2/s. Styrene is usually used in the production of polystyrene plastic and styrenic resins. Its most well-known application is in the manufacture of polystyrene foam insulation (commonly known as Styrofoam). Styrene can be converted into other compounds by thermolysis, oxidation, or hydrolysis. One such conversion is debromination, which occurs when styrene reacts with bromine in an alkaline solution to produce di-bromostyrene and hydrogen bromide gas. The isotopomers alpha-fluorostyrene and beta-fluorostyrene are derivatives of styrene that are used for analysis purposes because they have different physical properties due to their different masses.
