Description

4-(3-Bromophenyl)Butan-2-One is a versatile brominated aromatic ketone intermediate of significant importance in advanced organic synthesis. Its value lies in its reactive carbonyl group and the bromine substituent, which provide distinct handles for further functionalization, enabling the construction of complex molecular architectures. This compound is primarily needed by R&D chemists and process development scientists in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and material science industries for applications such as active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) synthesis and the development of specialty chemicals.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key building block in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly those requiring a bromophenyl moiety for biological activity or further coupling reactions.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the research and development of novel herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides, where its structure serves as a core for bioactive molecules.
• Ligand and Catalyst Precursor: Employed in the preparation of specialized ligands for metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions, such as Suzuki or Heck reactions, leveraging the bromine atom.
• Material Science Research: Acts as a monomer or functionalizing agent in the development of advanced polymers, liquid crystals, or organic electronic materials.
• Chemical Research & Development: Serves as a standard or starting material in methodological studies for new organic transformations, including carbonyl chemistry and aryl halide reactions.
• Fine Chemical Production: Utilized in the multi-step synthesis of complex fragrance compounds, dyes, and other high-value specialty chemicals.

Quality Control

Our 4-(3-Bromophenyl)Butan-2-One is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chromatographic purity assays and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets high-purity standards suitable for research and synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed specifications are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory documentation needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its light-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term stability. Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and strong oxidizing agents.
