Description

10-(Bromomethyl)Henicosane is a high-purity, long-chain bromoalkane derivative, specifically a C21 hydrocarbon with a bromomethyl functional group. This compound is a valuable synthetic intermediate, prized for its ability to introduce a reactive bromomethyl handle onto larger molecular frameworks. It is essential for researchers and manufacturers in advanced material science and fine chemical synthesis who require precise alkyl chain functionalization. The product is supplied under strict quality control to ensure batch-to-batch consistency for demanding applications.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and drug candidates, particularly for lipid-based formulations or as a building block for prodrugs.
• Liquid Crystal & OLED Material Synthesis: Serves as a key precursor for creating alkylated components in liquid crystal displays (LCDs) and organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs).
• Polymer & Surfactant Modification: Acts as an alkylating agent to modify polymers or to synthesize novel surfactants and phase-transfer catalysts with specific chain lengths.
• Lipid & Biochemical Research: Employed in the preparation of synthetic lipids, fatty acid analogs, and fluorescent probes for membrane and metabolic studies.
• Lubricant & Fuel Additive Precursor: Used to develop specialized additives that modify the viscosity and performance characteristics of industrial lubricants and fuels.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Functions as an intermediate in the production of certain pesticides and herbicides that require specific long-chain hydrophobic moieties.
