Description

Phenylacetyl Bromide is a versatile and highly reactive organic bromide derivative, serving as a critical acylating agent and building block in advanced chemical synthesis. Its primary value lies in its ability to efficiently introduce the phenylacetyl functional group, a key structural motif in various high-value compounds. This makes it an essential raw material for research and production in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries, where it is used to create active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), crop protection agents, and complex organic molecules.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key building block for the synthesis of β-lactam antibiotics, peptides, and other bioactive molecules.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the production of herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators requiring the phenylacetyl moiety.
• Fine Chemical Production: Acts as an acylating agent in the manufacture of dyes, fragrances, and photographic chemicals.
• Peptide Chemistry: Employed for the introduction of protecting groups or specific side chains in peptide synthesis.
• Material Science Research: Utilized in the development of novel polymers and organic electronic materials.
• Academic & R&D: Serves as a reagent in organic chemistry research for constructing complex molecular architectures.

Quality Control

Our Phenylacetyl Bromide is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure high purity and consistency, meeting the stringent requirements of our global B2B clients. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment, confirming specifications for identity, assay, and impurity profiles. We adhere to cGMP principles where applicable to support its use in regulated synthesis pathways.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames.
