Description

1-Bromo-2-Iodo-Ethene is a halogenated alkene building block of significant interest in synthetic organic chemistry. Its value lies in the distinct reactivity of the bromine and iodine atoms, enabling sequential and selective cross-coupling reactions. This compound is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and advanced materials sectors who require a versatile intermediate for constructing complex molecular architectures.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key precursor in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and novel drug candidates via Suzuki, Stille, and other palladium-catalyzed cross-couplings.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the development of new herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides, leveraging its bifunctional halogen reactivity.
• Material Science Research: Serves as a monomer or functionalization agent in the creation of specialized polymers and organic electronic materials.
• Organic Synthesis Building Block: Employed in laboratory-scale and process chemistry for the stereoselective construction of complex olefins and natural product analogs.
• Ligand and Catalyst Development: Acts as a starting material for synthesizing novel organometallic complexes and catalytic systems.

Quality Control

Our 1-Bromo-2-Iodo-Ethene is produced and handled under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including GC, HPLC, and NMR, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are provided and available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated place at 2-8°C (refrigerated) or as specified on the label. Due to its light-sensitive and highly volatile nature, containers should be kept sealed and allowed to reach ambient temperature before opening to minimize moisture ingress and loss.
