Description

2-Bromotridecane is a versatile organic bromoalkane with a linear thirteen-carbon chain, serving as a valuable intermediate in advanced organic synthesis. Its structure makes it particularly useful for introducing the tridecyl moiety or for further functionalization via nucleophilic substitution or metal-halogen exchange reactions. This compound is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries developing novel compounds, ligands, or materials.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and drug candidates requiring long alkyl chain modifications.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Serves as a key building block for producing herbicides, pesticides, and plant growth regulators.
• Organic Synthesis Reagent: Acts as an alkylating agent or a precursor for generating organometallic reagents like Grignard or lithium reagents.
• Material Science: Employed in the production of specialty surfactants, lubricant additives, and phase-transfer catalysts.
• Chemical Research: Utilized in academic and industrial R&D for method development and exploring new reaction pathways.
• Flavor & Fragrance Industry: Can be used as an intermediate for synthesizing specific aroma chemicals.
