Description

3-(Benzyloxy)-5-Bromobenzaldehyde is a high-purity aromatic aldehyde building block with a bromine substituent, essential for advanced organic synthesis. This compound matters as a versatile intermediate that enables the precise construction of complex molecular architectures, particularly in pharmaceutical and materials science research. It is primarily needed by R&D chemists and process development scientists in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries for creating novel active ingredients and functional materials.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key building block for the synthesis of novel drug candidates, especially in kinase inhibitor and CNS-active molecule research.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the development of advanced herbicides and fungicides where the benzyl-protected phenol and bromine handle allow for selective functionalization.
• Ligand and Catalyst Development: Serves as a precursor for creating specialized ligands used in transition metal catalysis and asymmetric synthesis.
• Material Science Research: Employed in the synthesis of organic semiconductors, liquid crystals, and photoactive polymers due to its electron-deficient aromatic core.
• Chemical Biology Probes: Utilized as a scaffold for developing fluorescent tags and activity-based probes for biological target identification.
• Custom Synthesis & Contract Manufacturing: A critical starting material for custom synthesis projects requiring selective cross-coupling or nucleophilic addition reactions.

Quality Control

Our 3-(Benzyloxy)-5-Bromobenzaldehyde is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, NMR for structural confirmation, and GC for residual solvent analysis. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment, ensuring full traceability and compliance with your research or production requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity to light and propensity for oxidation, it is recommended to store the material under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term stability. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
