Description

2-Bromoadipic Acid (CAS NO 3269-62-3) is a versatile brominated dicarboxylic acid derivative that serves as a critical building block in advanced organic synthesis. Its bifunctional structure, featuring both a reactive bromine atom and two carboxylic acid groups, makes it an indispensable intermediate for constructing complex molecular architectures. This compound is particularly valuable for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty polymer industries seeking to introduce specific bromine-containing functionalities or extend carbon chains.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key precursor in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), especially for compounds requiring bromine substitution or adipic acid backbone integration.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the production of herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators where the bromoadipate moiety contributes to biological activity.
• Polymer Modification: Serves as a monomer or cross-linking agent for specialty polymers, including polyesters and polyamides, to alter physical properties like flexibility or thermal stability.
• Organic Synthesis Building Block: Employed in nucleophilic substitution reactions, esterifications, and amide couplings to create complex organic molecules for material science and chemical research.
• Ligand and Catalyst Preparation: Useful for synthesizing chelating ligands or metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) due to its dicarboxylate functionality.
• Bioconjugation and Linker Chemistry: Applied in biotech for creating cleavable linkers or modifying biomolecules, leveraging the reactivity of the bromine and acid groups.

Quality Control

Our 2-Bromoadipic Acid is produced under stringent quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for assay and purity, residual solvent analysis, and identification by IR and NMR spectroscopy. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment. We support compliance with cGMP, ISO, and REACH standards for global supply.

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). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and light-sensitive; therefore, containers must be kept tightly sealed after opening to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture and light. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong bases and reducing agents.
