1. 3-Bromotoluene is mainly used as an intermediate in organic synthesis. 3-Bromotoluene CAS 591-17-3 can be used to create more complex organic molecules, like certain pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals (pesticides and herbicides), and dyes.

2. The bromine atom in 3-bromotoluene can be replaced or reacted with other substances to build up the desired chemical structure. For example, 3-Bromotoluene CAS 591-17-3 can be used in reactions to add different functional groups and create compounds with specific properties and uses.

1. Temperature: Store 3-Bromotoluene CAS 591-17-3 in a cool place, around 2 - 8°C (36 - 46°F). This helps to slow down any potential chemical reactions, especially oxidation.

2. Sealed Container: Keep 3-Bromotoluene in an airtight container. 3-Bromotoluene CAS 591-17-3 is volatile, so a tight seal prevents 3-Bromotoluene from evaporating and also stops 3-Bromotoluene CAS 591-17-3 from reacting with substances in the air.

3. Away from Light: Although not extremely photosensitive, storing 3-Bromotoluene in the dark or in a light-resistant container is a good idea to avoid any light-induced degradation over time.

4. Separation from Incompatible Substances: Avoid storing 3-Bromotoluene CAS 591-17-3 near strong oxidizing agents, strong bases, and reducing agents. These can react with 3-Bromotoluene and change its chemical structure.
