1. Boron tribromide CAS 10294-33-4 is widely used as a Lewis acid catalyst in organic synthesis, facilitating reactions like Friedel-Crafts alkylations.

2. Boron tribromide serves as a reagent for cleaving ether linkages in organic compounds, converting ethers to alcohols or phenols.

3. Additionally, Boron tribromide CAS 10294-33-4 finds application in the production of boron-containing chemicals and as a dopant in semiconductor manufacturing.

1. Store Boron tribromide CAS 10294-33-4 in a tightly sealed container under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) to prevent hydrolysis by atmospheric moisture, Boron tribromide produces toxic HBr fumes.

2. Keep Boron tribromide in a cool, dry area away from water, alcohols, and strong bases, as Boron tribromide reacts violently with these substances.

3. Ensure Boron tribromide CAS 10294-33-4 the storage area is well-ventilated and handle with specialized equipment (e.g., gas-tight syringes) to avoid contact with skin, eyes, or inhalation of fumes.
