Description

(4-Bromobutyl)Phosphonic Acid CAS NO 1190-14-3 is a versatile organophosphorus compound featuring both a bromoalkyl chain and a phosphonic acid functional group. This unique bifunctional structure makes it a valuable key intermediate in the synthesis of complex molecules, particularly in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research. It is primarily sought by R&D chemists and process development scientists in the life sciences and specialty chemical industries for constructing novel active ingredients and functional materials.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a crucial building block for the synthesis of novel drug candidates, particularly those requiring phosphonate or phosphate ester moieties for bioactivity.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the research and development of new herbicides, insecticides, and plant growth regulators where the phosphonic acid group is integral to the mode of action.
• Ligand and Catalyst Preparation: Acts as a precursor for phosphonate-based ligands used in coordination chemistry and catalysis, including metal-organic frameworks (MOFs).
• Surface Modification Agent: Employed to functionalize materials and surfaces (e.g., metals, oxides) with phosphonic acid groups to alter wettability, corrosion resistance, or biocompatibility.
• Polymer Chemistry: Utilized as a monomer or cross-linking agent in the synthesis of specialty polymers, such as flame retardants or ion-exchange resins.
• Chemical Biology Probes: Incorporated into molecular probes for studying enzyme activity, particularly phosphatases and kinases, due to its ability to mimic phosphate groups.
