Description

7-(Bromomethyl)Heptadecane is a high-purity, long-chain alkyl bromide derivative, serving as a versatile and critical building block in advanced organic synthesis. Its value lies in the reactive bromomethyl group, which facilitates efficient carbon-chain extension and functionalization under controlled conditions. This compound is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty materials sectors, particularly for the synthesis of complex surfactants, liquid crystals, and bioactive molecules.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key precursor in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and prodrugs requiring long alkyl chain modifications.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the production of specialized surfactants, adjuvants, and pesticide formulations.
• Specialty Polymer & Material Science: Acts as a monomer or chain transfer agent in the development of functional polymers, lubricant additives, and liquid crystal compounds.
• Organic Synthesis Building Block: Employed in nucleophilic substitution and coupling reactions (e.g., Grignard, Wittig) to introduce C17 alkyl chains.
• Surface Modification Agent: Utilized for the hydrophobic functionalization of nanoparticles, silica, and other material surfaces.
• Research & Development: A valuable reagent in academic and industrial R&D for exploring new synthetic pathways and material properties.
