Description

(4-(Bromomethyl)Cyclohexyl)Methanol CAS NO 137384-55-5 is a versatile bifunctional organic intermediate featuring both a bromomethyl group and a primary alcohol on a cyclohexane ring. This unique structure makes it a valuable building block for the synthesis of more complex molecules, particularly in pharmaceutical and advanced material research. It is primarily sought after by R&D chemists and process development scientists in the life sciences and specialty chemical sectors.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key building block for the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), especially those requiring a functionalized cyclohexyl scaffold.
• Ligand and Catalyst Synthesis: Used to create sophisticated ligands for asymmetric catalysis and organometallic complexes.
• Polymer Modification: Serves as a monomer or cross-linking agent for producing specialty polymers with tailored properties.
• Agrochemical Research: Intermediate in the development of novel herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators.
• Material Science: Precursor for liquid crystals, advanced coatings, and other functional materials.
• Organic Synthesis: Utilized in nucleophilic substitution and coupling reactions to introduce the cyclohexylmethanol moiety.
