Description

(Z)-1-Bromo-3-Octene CAS NO 53155-11-6 is a high-purity, stereospecific organobromine compound characterized by its defined (Z)-configuration around the double bond. This specific isomer is a valuable and versatile building block in advanced organic synthesis, enabling the precise introduction of both a bromine atom and an alkene functionality. It is primarily sought after by research chemists and process development scientists in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty materials industries for constructing complex molecular architectures, including natural products and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key synthon for the synthesis of complex drug molecules and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) via cross-coupling reactions like Suzuki, Negishi, or Heck couplings.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the research and development of novel pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides, where the bromoalkene moiety acts as a reactive handle for further functionalization.
• Material Science Research: Serves as a monomer or precursor in the development of specialized polymers, liquid crystals, and organic electronic materials.
• Organic Synthesis Building Block: Employed in academic and industrial R&D for stereoselective synthesis, including cycloadditions, halogen-metal exchanges, and nucleophilic substitution reactions.
• Flavor & Fragrance Chemistry: Utilized as an intermediate in the synthesis of specific aroma compounds and odorants requiring a defined alkene geometry.
• Cross-Coupling Reactions: An excellent substrate for palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions to form new carbon-carbon bonds in a controlled manner.
