Description

5-Bromoindan-4-Ol CAS NO 575504-23-3 is a versatile brominated indanol derivative, a high-purity organic intermediate of significant interest in advanced chemical synthesis. Its core value lies in providing a functionalized indane scaffold, crucial for constructing complex molecular architectures with precision. This compound is primarily needed by research institutions and industrial R&D departments in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and material science sectors for developing novel active ingredients and functional molecules.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key building block in the synthesis of potential drug candidates, particularly for central nervous system (CNS) targets and other biologically active molecules.
• Agrochemical Research: Used in the development and discovery of new herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators that require a halogenated indane core.
• Material Science Precursor: Acts as a monomer or functional unit in the creation of specialized polymers, liquid crystals, and organic electronic materials.
• Chemical Synthesis Reagent: Employed in organic chemistry research for cross-coupling reactions, such as Suzuki or Buchwald-Hartwig amination, due to the reactive bromine substituent.
• Ligand and Catalyst Development: Utilized for constructing novel chiral ligands or organocatalysts where the indanol structure provides a rigid backbone.

Quality Control

Our 5-Bromoindan-4-Ol is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, NMR, and mass spectrometry, to ensure high chemical purity and structural identity. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, detailing all relevant specifications. Our quality commitment aligns with cGMP principles for advanced intermediates, ensuring reliable batch-to-batch consistency for your critical R&D and scale-up processes.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Keep away from oxidizing agents and strong bases. Due to its light-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, minimize exposure to air and light during handling.
