Description

2-Bromononane is a primary alkyl bromide with a linear nine-carbon chain, widely employed as a versatile alkylating agent and synthetic intermediate in fine chemical manufacturing. Its structural balance of reactivity and stability makes it particularly valuable for controlled carbon-chain extension and heteroatom functionalization under mild conditions. Industrial chemists, pharmaceutical process developers, and agrochemical R&D teams rely on high-purity 2-Bromononane CAS NO 2216-35-5 for reproducible coupling reactions, chiral building block synthesis, and specialty surfactant development.

Application

• Key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), especially for anti-inflammatory and neuroactive compounds
• Alkylating agent in the preparation of quaternary ammonium salts used in phase-transfer catalysts and fabric softeners
• Building block for synthesizing branched-chain fatty acid derivatives and biodegradable lubricant additives
• Reagent in palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions (e.g., Suzuki, Stille) to construct C–C bonds in advanced organic materials
• Starting material for the production of nonanoic acid derivatives and ester-based plasticizers
• Substrate in asymmetric synthesis studies targeting chiral secondary alcohols and amines

Quality Control

Our products undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure compliance with industry standards. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are available upon request. All batches conform to ACS Reagent Grade specifications for halogenated aliphatic compounds, including strict limits on residual solvents, heavy metals (<5 ppm), and water content (<0.1%). Purity is verified by dual-method analysis (GC-FID and HPLC) to guarantee batch-to-batch consistency required for regulated synthesis.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at room temperature (15–25°C) in a dry, well-ventilated area away from strong oxidizing agents and incompatible materials such as strong alkalis or fluorides. Due to its light-sensitive nature, minimize exposure to ambient and UV light during handling and dispensing.
