Description

Methyl 11-Bromoundecanoate is a high-purity, long-chain bromoester compound, serving as a versatile and critical building block in advanced organic synthesis. Its value lies in the reactive bromine terminus, which facilitates efficient carbon-carbon bond formation and functional group interconversions. This intermediate is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty polymer industries developing novel active ingredients and performance materials.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key synthon for the production of bioactive molecules, including fatty acid analogs and enzyme inhibitors.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the manufacture of specialized surfactants, adjuvants, and active ingredients for crop protection.
• Polymer & Material Science: Serves as a monomer or chain extender in the synthesis of specialty polyesters, polyamides, and liquid crystal polymers.
• Organic Synthesis Building Block: Employed in palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions (e.g., Suzuki, Heck) and nucleophilic substitution reactions to construct complex molecular architectures.
• Lubricant & Fuel Additive Precursor: Intermediate for synthesizing high-performance esters used as viscosity modifiers and anti-wear agents.
• Surface Modification Agent: Used to create functionalized surfaces and self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) for research and industrial coatings.
