Description

8-Phenoxyoctyl Bromide is a versatile alkylating agent and a key organic intermediate featuring a phenoxy-terminated alkyl chain with a reactive bromine terminus. This bifunctional structure makes it a valuable building block for synthesizing more complex molecules, particularly in the fields of pharmaceuticals and advanced materials. It is primarily sought after by R&D chemists and process development scientists in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries for creating surfactants, liquid crystals, and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A crucial building block for the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly those requiring phenoxyalkyl side chains.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the production of herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators where its structure can be incorporated into bioactive molecules.
• Liquid Crystal Production: Serves as a precursor for mesogenic compounds used in display technologies due to its rigid phenoxy and flexible alkyl chain components.
• Surfactant & Polymer Chemistry: Acts as a monomer or chain extender in the synthesis of specialty polymers, non-ionic surfactants, and phase transfer catalysts.
• Organic Synthesis & Research: Employed as a versatile alkyl halide reagent in nucleophilic substitution reactions, Grignard reagent formation, and cross-coupling reactions.
• Material Science: Used to modify surface properties and create functionalized materials through covalent attachment of organic layers.

Quality Control

Our 8-Phenoxyoctyl Bromide is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, and NMR, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide a detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, confirming compliance with agreed specifications. Our quality commitment supports applications requiring high-purity intermediates for GMP and research purposes.

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 (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent degradation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
