β-Bromophenylethane (Cat. No: R018041) is an important intermediate for the synthesis of high-efficiency brominated flame retardant polybromostyrene and is also commonly used in the preparation of organic synthesis intermediates. It can be used as a precursor for the synthesis of fentanyl. Phenethyl bromide may exist as an impurity in fentanyl samples produced by this route.
