Description

2-Furancarbonyl Bromide (9Ci) is a versatile and highly reactive organic bromide derivative of furan, serving as a critical building block in advanced chemical synthesis. Its value lies in its ability to introduce the furanoyl moiety into target molecules, enabling the creation of complex heterocyclic compounds and functional materials. This intermediate is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries who require high-purity, reliable reagents for their development and production processes.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key building block for the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly those containing furan-based heterocycles.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the production of novel pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides where the furan ring contributes to biological activity.
• Material Science Research: Employed in the development of functional polymers, organic semiconductors, and advanced materials with specific electronic properties.
• Organic Synthesis Reagent: Acts as an acylating agent in Friedel-Crafts and other coupling reactions to form carbon-carbon bonds.
• Ligand and Catalyst Preparation: Useful for synthesizing specialized ligands for metal complexes used in homogeneous catalysis.
• Fine Chemical Production: Intermediate in the manufacture of flavors, fragrances, and other high-value specialty chemicals.

Quality Control

Our 2-Furancarbonyl Bromide is produced under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay, identity confirmation, and impurity profiling. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting the results are provided with every shipment. We adhere to cGMP principles where applicable to support our customers in regulated industries.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent degradation. Keep away from strong acids and incompatible materials.
