Description

Bromoacetyl Bromide CAS NO 598-21-0 is a highly reactive bifunctional reagent, serving as a crucial building block for introducing the bromoacetyl functional group. This compound is essential for synthetic chemists requiring efficient and selective bromoacetylation reactions in complex molecule construction. It is primarily utilized in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries for the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), intermediates, and advanced materials.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate Synthesis: Key reagent for the production of various drug candidates and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly in anticancer and antiviral research.
• Peptide Modification & Bioconjugation: Used to introduce reactive handles onto peptides, proteins, and other biomolecules for labeling, cross-linking, and antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) development.
• Agrochemical Manufacturing: Serves as a precursor in the synthesis of herbicides, fungicides, and other crop protection agents.
• Polymer & Material Science: Employed in the synthesis of functional monomers and polymers, including photosensitive resins and specialty coatings.
• Organic Synthesis Reagent: A versatile building block for constructing heterocycles (e.g., oxazoles, thiazoles) and other complex organic frameworks in research and development.
• Chemical Cross-linking Agent: Facilitates the formation of covalent bonds between molecules in biochemical assays and material cross-linking applications.

Quality Control

Our Bromoacetyl Bromide is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including assay (by titration), identity confirmation (IR), and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets the high-purity standards required for sensitive synthetic applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials such as strong bases, amines, and alcohols. Due to its hygroscopic and strong acid/organic solvent nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to prevent moisture absorption and decomposition. Recommended storage temperature: 2-8°C for long-term stability.
