Description

Cinnamyl Bromide is a versatile and reactive organobromine compound, also known as 3-Bromo-1-phenylprop-1-ene. Its primary value lies in its role as a crucial alkylating agent and a key synthetic building block for introducing the cinnamyl moiety into more complex molecules. This makes it an essential intermediate for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and fragrance industries, where it is used to create a wide array of active ingredients and specialty chemicals.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key precursor in the synthesis of various active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), including potential anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory agents.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the production of pesticides, herbicides, and plant growth regulators.
• Fragrance and Flavor Chemistry: Serves as a building block for synthetic aromatic compounds that mimic natural scents and flavors.
• Organic Synthesis Reagent: Acts as an alkylating agent in coupling reactions (e.g., Heck reaction) and for the preparation of cinnamyl ethers and esters.
• Material Science Research: Employed in the development of novel polymers, liquid crystals, and organic electronic materials.
• Cross-coupling Reactions: A valuable substrate in palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions to form carbon-carbon bonds.

Quality Control

Our Cinnamyl Bromide is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure high purity and consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided, detailing parameters such as assay (by GC/HPLC), identity (by IR/NMR), and impurity profiles. We support compliance with REACH and other relevant global regulatory frameworks.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic and moisture-sensitive nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to prevent degradation. Keep away from strong acids and incompatible materials.
