Description

trans-Phytyl Bromide is a high-purity, light-sensitive alkyl bromide derivative of phytol, a key building block in organic synthesis. This compound is valued for its role as a versatile intermediate in the production of complex molecules, particularly in the synthesis of vitamins and other bioactive compounds. It is primarily utilized by research institutions and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and fine chemical industries for advanced chemical synthesis and process development.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A critical precursor in the synthesis of fat-soluble vitamins, such as Vitamin E (tocopherols) and Vitamin K analogs.
• Fine Chemical Synthesis: Used as an alkylating agent in the production of specialized chemicals, fragrances, and flavoring agents.
• Nutraceutical Manufacturing: Serves as a key building block for the production of high-value dietary supplements and health ingredients.
• Biochemical Research: Employed in academic and industrial R&D for studying lipid metabolism and developing novel bioactive compounds.
• Agrochemical Development: Acts as an intermediate in the research and synthesis of advanced crop protection agents.

Quality Control

Our trans-Phytyl Bromide is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC and GC analysis, to confirm identity, potency, and impurity profiles. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

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). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to its light-sensitive nature, containers should be amber-colored or stored in opaque secondary packaging.
