Description

1,10-Dichlorodecane is a linear aliphatic dihalide compound with the CAS number 2162-98-3. This versatile bifunctional intermediate is valued for its role as a key building block in organic synthesis, enabling the introduction of a ten-carbon spacer with terminal reactive sites. It is primarily needed by R&D chemists and process engineers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty polymer industries for applications such as cross-linking, chain extension, and the synthesis of complex organic molecules.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a crucial building block in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly for creating long-chain alkyl linkers or spacers.
• Polymer & Resin Production: Used as a cross-linking agent or monomer in the production of specialty polymers, polyamides, and epoxy resins to modify flexibility and thermal properties.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Employed in the manufacture of pesticides, herbicides, and plant growth regulators that require specific alkylene chain structures.
• Organic Synthesis Reagent: Acts as an alkylating agent or a precursor for generating other functional groups like diamines or dithiols via nucleophilic substitution reactions.
• Surface Active Agent Precursor: Utilized in the synthesis of cationic surfactants, quaternary ammonium compounds, and other specialty surfactants.
• Material Science Research: Applied in the development of novel organic frameworks, dendrimers, and liquid crystals where defined molecular length is critical.
