Description

3-Bromo-5-(2-Hydroxyethyl)Isoxazole is a versatile heterocyclic building block featuring both a reactive bromine atom and a hydroxymethyl functional group. This bifunctional nature makes it a valuable intermediate for synthesizing more complex molecules, particularly in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research. It is primarily sought after by R&D chemists and process development scientists working on novel active ingredients and fine chemicals.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key building block for the synthesis of potential drug candidates, especially in medicinal chemistry programs targeting new therapeutic agents.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the research and development of novel herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides, leveraging the isoxazole scaffold.
• Ligand and Catalyst Development: Serves as a precursor for creating specialized ligands used in catalytic processes and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs).
• Material Science Research: Employed in the synthesis of functional polymers and advanced materials with specific electronic or photonic properties.
• Chemical Biology Probes: Useful for constructing molecular probes to study biological processes and enzyme functions.
• Custom Synthesis and Contract Manufacturing: A critical starting material for custom synthesis houses serving the life sciences industry.

Quality Control

Every batch of 3-Bromo-5-(2-Hydroxyethyl)Isoxazole is produced and tested under a strict quality management system. We provide comprehensive analytical data to ensure the compound meets the high-purity standards required for research and development. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) specifying identity, purity, and impurity profiles by HPLC, NMR, and other relevant techniques is available for each lot upon request.

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). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and light-sensitive; therefore, containers must be kept tightly sealed and away from direct light exposure to maintain stability and purity.
