Description

Bromobutane is a versatile alkyl halide intermediate essential for introducing the butyl group in complex organic syntheses. Its reactivity makes it a critical building block for the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and specialty materials. This compound is particularly valuable for research and development laboratories and industrial-scale manufacturers requiring high-purity alkylating agents.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key starting material or alkylating agent in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the production of herbicides, pesticides, and plant growth regulators.
• Organic Synthesis: Employed in nucleophilic substitution reactions to create butyl ethers, thioethers, and esters.
• Liquid Crystal & Polymer Production: Serves as a monomer or modifying agent in the manufacture of advanced materials.
• Chemical Research: Utilized in laboratories for method development, catalysis studies, and as a standard reagent.
• Flavor & Fragrance Industry: Intermediate in the synthesis of specific aroma compounds.

Quality Control

Our Bromobutane is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including GC, IR, and titration methods, to ensure it meets the high-purity standards required for sensitive synthetic applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials such as strong acids and strong oxidizing agents. Recommended storage temperature is between 15°C and 25°C. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent moisture absorption and volatilization.
