Clear to straw liquid
Uses
Used as the intermediates of OLED, pharmaceuticals.
Purification Methods
Fractionate it through a 3ft vacuum-jacketted column packed with 1/4" stainless steel saddles. The material is finally percolated through a 2ft column packed with alumina and maintained in an inert atmosphere. [Staveley et al.
