Description

7-(Bromomethyl)Pentadecane is a high-purity, long-chain bromoalkane intermediate of significant interest in advanced organic synthesis. Its value lies in its utility as a versatile alkylating agent and building block for introducing a C16 hydrophobic chain with a reactive bromomethyl terminus. This compound is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries developing novel active ingredients, surfactants, and liquid crystal materials.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key synthon for the preparation of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly in modifying lipophilicity and chain length.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the research and production of herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators requiring specific alkyl chain modifications.
• Specialty Surfactant & Lubricant Additive Precursor: Acts as a building block for quaternary ammonium compounds (quats), cationic surfactants, and performance additives.
• Material Science Research: Employed in the synthesis of monomers for polymers, liquid crystals, and other advanced organic materials.
• Organic Synthesis Reagent: Functions as a reliable alkylating agent in nucleophilic substitution reactions for C-C and C-heteroatom bond formation.
• Chemical Intermediate for Fine Chemicals: Utilized in multi-step synthesis pathways for flavors, fragrances, and other high-value fine chemicals.
