Description

4-Phenoxybutyl Bromide is a versatile alkylating agent and a key organic synthetic intermediate. This compound matters for its role as a crucial building block in the synthesis of more complex molecules, particularly in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research. It is primarily needed by R&D chemists and process development scientists in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries for constructing phenoxyalkyl chain motifs.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key building block for the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly those containing phenoxyalkylamine structures.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the production of herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators that require phenoxybutyl side chains.
• Liquid Crystal & Material Science: Serves as an intermediate in the synthesis of advanced organic materials and liquid crystal compounds.
• Organic Synthesis & Research: A valuable reagent for alkylation reactions, nucleophilic substitutions, and the preparation of other functionalized organic compounds in academic and industrial laboratories.
• Fine Chemical Production: Employed in the manufacture of specialty chemicals, dyes, and flavor/fragrance precursors.

Quality Control

Our 4-Phenoxybutyl Bromide is produced under stringent quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chromatography (HPLC/GC) and spectroscopic methods (NMR, IR), to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials such as strong acids and strong oxidizing agents. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent moisture absorption and degradation.
