Description

3-(2-Methoxyethoxy)Propyl Bromide is a versatile bifunctional alkylating agent featuring both an ether linkage and a reactive bromoalkyl group. This unique structure makes it a valuable intermediate for introducing hydrophilic, polyether-like chains into target molecules, enhancing solubility and modifying physicochemical properties. It is primarily utilized by R&D chemists and process engineers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty materials sectors for synthesizing advanced intermediates, functional polymers, and surface-active agents.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key building block for the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly those requiring solubilizing side chains or linker chemistry.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the production of herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators where its ether chain can improve formulation characteristics.
• Polymer & Material Science: Serves as a monomer or cross-linking agent for creating functional polymers, hydrogels, and coatings with tailored hydrophilicity.
• Surface Modification: Employed to functionalize silica, metals, or other surfaces to alter wettability and adhesion properties.
• Liquid Crystal & Display Technology: Acts as an intermediate in the synthesis of compounds for electronic materials.
• Phase Transfer Catalyst Precursor: Used to synthesize quaternary ammonium salts that act as catalysts in biphasic reactions.

Quality Control

Our 3-(2-Methoxyethoxy)Propyl Bromide is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay (GC/HPLC), identity confirmation (IR, NMR), and impurity profiling to ensure high purity and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials such as strong bases. Due to its highly volatile nature, ensure containers are kept tightly sealed when not in use. Recommended storage temperature: 2-8°C for long-term stability.
