Description

15-Bromo-1-Pentadecanol is a high-purity, long-chain bromohydrin intermediate of significant importance in organic synthesis. Its bifunctional nature, featuring both a reactive bromine atom and a terminal hydroxyl group, makes it a versatile building block for the creation of complex molecules. This compound is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries who require a reliable precursor for the synthesis of surfactants, liquid crystals, and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key building block for the synthesis of long-chain bioactive molecules and prodrugs.
• Surfactant & Detergent Synthesis: Serves as a hydrophobic precursor for the production of non-ionic and cationic surfactants.
• Liquid Crystal Manufacturing: Used in the synthesis of mesogenic compounds for display technologies.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Intermediate in the production of specialized pesticides and plant growth regulators.
• Polymer Modification: Acts as a chain extender or functional monomer for introducing bromine or hydroxyl functionality into polymers.
• Organic Synthesis Reagent: Utilized in nucleophilic substitution and coupling reactions to introduce a C15 alkyl chain.
• Research & Development: A valuable tool for medicinal chemistry and material science research.
