Description

Oleyl Bromide CAS NO 6110-53-8 is a versatile long-chain alkyl bromide derivative, serving as a crucial intermediate in organic synthesis. Its primary value lies in its ability to introduce the oleyl (C18 monounsaturated) group into target molecules, enabling the synthesis of surfactants, phase-transfer catalysts, and specialty polymers. This compound is essential for R&D and production in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and advanced materials industries, where precise functionalization is required.

Application

• Surfactant & Detergent Intermediate: Key building block for synthesizing quaternary ammonium compounds (quats) and cationic surfactants used in fabric softeners, hair conditioners, and industrial cleaners.
• Pharmaceutical Synthesis: Used as an alkylating agent in the production of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and lipid-based drug delivery systems.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Intermediate for creating specialized adjuvants, emulsifiers, and carriers in pesticide and herbicide formulations.
• Polymer & Material Science: Monomer or modifier for producing functional polymers, lubricant additives, and corrosion inhibitors.
• Phase-Transfer Catalysis (PTC): Employed in the synthesis of phase-transfer catalysts for facilitating reactions between immiscible reactants.
• Research & Development: A valuable reagent in organic chemistry laboratories for method development and creating novel chemical entities.
