Description

10-Phenoxydecyl Bromide is a high-purity organic bromide intermediate featuring a long alkyl chain terminated by a phenoxy group. This specific molecular architecture makes it a valuable building block for synthesizing surfactants, liquid crystals, and advanced polymeric materials. It is primarily sought after by R&D chemists and process engineers in the specialty chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and advanced materials sectors for introducing phenoxyalkyl functionalities into target molecules.

Application

• Surfactant & Detergent Intermediate: Serves as a key precursor for the synthesis of non-ionic and cationic surfactants with specific hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) properties.
• Liquid Crystal Synthesis: Used as an alkylating agent in the production of phenoxyphenyl-based liquid crystal compounds for display technologies.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Acts as a versatile alkyl chain linker in the research and development of novel active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Polymer Modification: Employed to introduce long-chain phenoxy groups into polymers to modify physical properties like flexibility, solubility, and thermal stability.
• Phase Transfer Catalyst Precursor: Utilized in the synthesis of quaternary ammonium salts that function as effective phase transfer catalysts.
• Organic Synthesis Building Block: A reliable reagent for nucleophilic substitution reactions to incorporate decyl chains bearing terminal phenoxy groups.
