Description

Hypobromous Acid tert-Butyl Ester is a specialized organic brominating agent with the CAS number 1611-82-1. This compound is valued for its ability to introduce bromine atoms under controlled conditions, offering a selective alternative to more aggressive halogenation reagents. It is primarily sought by R&D chemists and process engineers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and fine chemical industries for applications in synthesis and intermediate manufacturing.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate Synthesis: Used as a key reagent for the selective bromination of complex organic molecules in API (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient) development.
• Agrochemical Manufacturing: Employed in the synthesis of brominated herbicides, fungicides, and other crop protection agents.
• Fine Chemical Production: Facilitates controlled bromination steps in the manufacture of dyes, fragrances, and specialty polymers.
• Laboratory Research & Development: Serves as a versatile tool for organic synthesis, enabling novel bond formation and molecular functionalization in academic and industrial R&D settings.
• Material Science: Potential use in modifying polymer surfaces or creating brominated monomers for flame-retardant materials.

Quality Control

Our Hypobromous Acid tert-Butyl Ester is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay by titration and impurity profiling by GC or HPLC, to ensure consistency and high purity. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications and test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your research or production requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area, away from heat sources and incompatible materials. Due to its highly volatile and light-sensitive nature, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at temperatures between 2°C and 8°C for optimal stability. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use.
