Description

1β,2α-Dibromocyclohexane CAS NO 53023-21-5 is a versatile brominated cycloalkane derivative, serving as a critical chiral building block and intermediate in advanced organic synthesis. Its value lies in its ability to introduce both bromine atoms and a defined stereochemistry into target molecules, enabling the construction of complex, high-value compounds. This product is essential for research and development chemists and process engineers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries who require high-purity intermediates for the synthesis of active ingredients and functional materials.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key chiral synthon for the synthesis of novel drug candidates and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly in medicinal chemistry research.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the production of advanced pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides where specific stereochemistry impacts biological activity.
• Organic Synthesis Reagent: Acts as a versatile electrophile in substitution and elimination reactions to build complex organic frameworks in academic and industrial R&D.
• Liquid Crystal & Advanced Material Precursor: Serves as a starting material for synthesizing halogenated compounds used in liquid crystal displays (LCDs) and other functional materials.
• Cross-Coupling Reactions: A valuable substrate for palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions (e.g., Suzuki, Negishi) to form carbon-carbon bonds.
• Chemical Research & Development: Employed in method development and exploratory chemistry for creating new compounds with potential commercial applications.

Quality Control

Our 1β,2α-Dibromocyhexane is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatography (GC/HPLC) and spectroscopic methods (NMR, IR), to ensure high chemical purity and stereochemical integrity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from strong acids and incompatible materials. Handle and store under an inert atmosphere if prolonged storage is required to maintain product integrity.
