Description

2-Bromoethylamine Hydrochloride is a versatile organic building block and alkylating agent, essential for introducing the 2-aminoethyl functional group into target molecules. Its primary value lies in its role as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and complex organic compounds. This high-purity material is critical for research and development chemists, process engineers, and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and fine chemical industries who require reliable and consistent raw materials for their synthetic pathways.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A crucial precursor in the synthesis of various active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), including β-blockers, antidepressants, and other nitrogen-containing therapeutics.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the production of herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators that require ethylamine-based side chains.
• Bioconjugation & Labeling Reagent: Facilitates the attachment of fluorescent dyes, affinity tags, or other probes to biomolecules like proteins and peptides for diagnostic and research applications.
• Polymer & Material Science: Serves as a monomer or cross-linking agent for creating functional polymers, hydrogels, and surface-modified materials.
• Organic Synthesis Building Block: Employed in nucleophilic substitution reactions to construct more complex molecular architectures, such as heterocycles and functionalized amines.
• Chemical Research & Development: A valuable tool in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies and library synthesis.

Quality Control

Our 2-Bromoethylamine Hydrochloride is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and titration methods, to ensure it meets stringent purity and identity specifications. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with every shipment, detailing all critical quality attributes. Our commitment to cGMP principles and ISO-aligned processes guarantees batch-to-batch consistency and traceability for demanding industrial and research applications.

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). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and light-sensitive; therefore, containers must be kept tightly sealed and under an inert atmosphere after opening to prevent degradation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
