Description

3-Chlorophenethyl Bromide, 97% is a versatile organobromine building block characterized by its reactive benzyl bromide and chlorinated aromatic functionalities. This compound matters for its critical role in facilitating carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bond formation, enabling the synthesis of complex molecular architectures. It is primarily needed by researchers and process chemists in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and advanced materials sectors for applications in medicinal chemistry, ligand synthesis, and the development of functional polymers.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key precursor in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly for compounds targeting central nervous system disorders.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the preparation of herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators where the phenethyl moiety is required.
• Ligand and Catalyst Development: Serves as a starting material for synthesizing phosphine ligands, N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) precursors, and other organocatalysts.
• Material Science: Building block for creating monomers and cross-linking agents in the production of specialty polymers and liquid crystals.
• Chemical Biology: Useful for the preparation of molecular probes and affinity labels for enzyme inhibition studies.
• Organic Synthesis: Employed in alkylation reactions, nucleophilic substitutions, and as a substrate in transition-metal catalyzed cross-coupling reactions.

Quality Control

Our 3-Chlorophenethyl Bromide, 97% is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and GC for residual solvents, to ensure it meets the declared specification and is suitable for research and scale-up applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from strong acids, bases, and oxidizing agents. Due to its nature as a strong acid/organic solvent, ensure containers are kept tightly sealed to prevent moisture ingress and decomposition.
