Description

Sodium 4-Bromobutane-1-Sulphonate is a versatile organosulfur compound and a valuable sulfonate salt building block. Its bifunctional nature, featuring both a reactive bromoalkyl group and a stable sulfonate anion, makes it a critical intermediate for synthesizing surfactants, functional polymers, and specialty chemicals. This product is essential for R&D chemists and process engineers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and advanced materials sectors seeking to introduce sulfonate functionality or create novel anionic structures.

Application

• Surfactant & Detergent Intermediate: Serves as a key precursor for the synthesis of specialized anionic surfactants and hydrotropes.
• Polymer Modification: Used to introduce sulfonate groups into polymers, enhancing hydrophilicity, dyeability, or ion-exchange properties.
• Pharmaceutical Synthesis: Acts as a versatile building block in the creation of drug candidates, particularly those requiring sulfonate moieties for solubility or biological activity.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Employed in the synthesis of herbicidal or pesticidal agents where the sulfonate group improves systemic activity or formulation stability.
• Electroplating & Metal Treatment: Functions as an additive in plating baths or surface treatment solutions to improve conductivity and finish quality.
• Chemical Research (R&D): A valuable reagent for exploring new organic reactions and creating novel functionalized molecules in academic and industrial laboratories.

Quality Control

Our Sodium 4-Bromobutane-1-Sulphonate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay (HPLC), identification (IR, NMR), and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets precise specifications for purity and consistency. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and light-sensitive; therefore, containers must be kept tightly sealed after opening to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture and light.
