Description

17-Octadecenyl Bromide is a high-purity, long-chain alkyl bromide derivative, specifically the brominated form of an octadecene. This compound is a valuable chemical intermediate prized for its reactivity, enabling the introduction of a long hydrophobic chain into target molecules. It is primarily sought after by R&D chemists and process engineers in the fine chemical and pharmaceutical sectors for advanced synthesis. Its utility extends to applications in material science, where it serves as a building block for surfactants and specialty polymers.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key building block in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and other complex organic molecules.
• Surfactant & Detergent Synthesis: Used to produce cationic surfactants and fabric softeners by quaternization reactions.
• Polymer Modification: Acts as a monomer or grafting agent for creating hydrophobic polymers and copolymers with specific material properties.
• Lubricant Additive Precursor: Serves as an intermediate in the manufacture of high-performance lubricant additives.
• Organic Synthesis Reagent: Employed in alkylation and coupling reactions (e.g., Grignard reagent formation) in research and development.
• Material Science Research: Used in surface modification and the creation of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) for advanced coatings.
