Description

Benzoyl Chloride, 2,5-Dibromo- CAS NO 59615-13-3 is a halogenated benzoyl chloride derivative, a versatile and highly reactive chemical intermediate prized for its ability to introduce both the benzoyl and bromine functional groups into target molecules. Its primary value lies in enabling the synthesis of complex, high-value compounds, particularly in advanced material and pharmaceutical research. This product is essential for R&D chemists and process engineers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries seeking to develop new active ingredients or functional materials.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key building block in the synthesis of novel active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), especially those requiring specific halogenated aromatic structures.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the production of advanced herbicides, fungicides, and pesticides where the 2,5-dibromo substitution pattern confers specific biological activity.
• Polymer & Material Science: Serves as a monomer or cross-linking agent in the development of specialty polymers, liquid crystals, and organic electronic materials.
• Dye & Pigment Manufacturing: Intermediate for creating complex, light-fast organic dyes and high-performance pigments.
• Organic Synthesis Reagent: A crucial reagent for Friedel-Crafts acylation and other reactions to introduce benzoyl groups into brominated arenes.
• Research & Development: Used in academic and industrial labs for method development and exploring new chemical entities.

Quality Control

Our Benzoyl Chloride, 2,5-Dibromo- is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, and NMR, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with every shipment, detailing all specified parameters. Our quality commitment ensures the material meets the stringent requirements for research and industrial synthesis.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature and reactivity as a strong acid/organic solvent, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to prevent hydrolysis and degradation. Recommended storage temperature: 2-8°C for long-term stability.
