Description

3-(2-Bromoethyl)Tetrahydrofuran (Saltdata: Free) is a versatile brominated heterocyclic building block of significant interest in advanced organic synthesis. Its value lies in the reactive bromoethyl side chain, which facilitates key carbon-carbon bond formation and functional group transformations under controlled conditions. This compound is primarily needed by research chemists and process development scientists in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries for constructing complex molecular architectures, including active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and specialty intermediates.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key synthon for the synthesis of novel drug candidates, particularly those containing tetrahydrofuran or morpholine-like ring systems.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the research and development of new herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators.
• Ligand and Catalyst Development: Serves as a precursor for creating specialized phosphine or nitrogen-based ligands used in asymmetric catalysis.
• Material Science Research: Employed in the synthesis of functional monomers for polymers with specific thermal or mechanical properties.
• Cross-Coupling Reactions: Acts as an alkylating agent in various metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions (e.g., Suzuki, Negishi) to introduce functionalized alkyl chains.
• Academic & Contract Research: A valuable reagent for methodological studies and exploring new synthetic pathways in university and CRO laboratories.

Quality Control

Every batch of 3-(2-Bromoethyl)Tetrahydrofuran is produced and tested under strict quality management protocols to ensure consistency and reliability for your critical syntheses. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles. Our quality systems are designed to support cGMP (current Good Manufacturing Practice) requirements for advanced intermediate production, ensuring traceability and documentation for regulated applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from strong acids and incompatible organic solvents. Due to its light-sensitive nature and reactive bromoalkyl group, prolonged exposure to light or heat should be avoided to maintain product integrity.
