Description

Ethanol, 2-[2-(2-Bromoethoxy)Ethoxy]- is a specialized bromo-functionalized polyethylene glycol derivative, serving as a versatile chemical intermediate. Its core value lies in its ability to introduce a reactive bromoalkyl chain and a hydrophilic ethylene glycol spacer into target molecules, enabling precise synthesis and modification. This compound is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, polymer, and advanced materials sectors who require a reliable building block for creating functionalized polymers, prodrugs, or surface-modifying agents.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key building block for the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly in creating prodrugs or drug conjugates with enhanced solubility.
• Polymer Chemistry: Used as a functional monomer or chain transfer agent in the synthesis of specialty polymers, including polyethers and responsive hydrogels.
• Surface Modification: Employed to introduce bromoalkyl groups onto surfaces or nanoparticles for subsequent functionalization via nucleophilic substitution reactions.
• Crosslinking Agent: Acts as a difunctional linker in the preparation of crosslinked polymer networks and dendrimers.
• Ligand Synthesis: Intermediate in the preparation of chelating ligands and macrocyclic compounds for catalytic or sensing applications.
• Material Science: Utilized in the development of non-ionic surfactants and phase transfer catalysts.

Quality Control

Our Ethanol, 2-[2-(2-Bromoethoxy)Ethoxy]- is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and NMR for structural confirmation, to ensure it meets precise customer specifications and industry standards. Comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting identity, assay, 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 room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to the bromoalkyl functionality, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere for long-term stability and to minimize potential degradation.
