Used in organic synthesis including adiponitrile. It is also used as an active pharmaceutical intermediate. 1,4-dichlorobutane (1,4-DCB) can be used as an organic solvent (O) for ion-transfer voltammetry at water (W) interface.
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. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
