2-Bromoanisole

Class

Small Molecule

Description

4-Bromoanisole, also known as para-bromoanisole or 1-bromo-4-methoxybenzene, is a clear liquid with a pleasant smell similar to that of anise seed. 4-Bromoanisole is an optional compound sometimes used in RNA extraction which serves to further eliminate DNA contamination. It will interact with genomic DNA (gDNA) and through a separation phase, it will be located in the organic layer instead of the aqueous layer (upper layer) containing the RNA extract.
