Description

2-Bromotetradecanoyl Bromide is a versatile and highly reactive long-chain fatty acid derivative, specifically an α-bromo acyl bromide. This compound serves as a critical building block in advanced organic synthesis, enabling the precise introduction of the tetradecanoyl moiety with a reactive bromine handle. It is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries who require high-purity intermediates for constructing complex molecules, such as lipids, surfactants, and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key precursor in the synthesis of lipid-based drug conjugates, prodrugs, and bioactive molecules targeting metabolic pathways.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used to create specialized surfactants, emulsifiers, and active ingredients with tailored hydrophobic properties for crop protection formulations.
• Polymer Chemistry: Acts as a monomer or chain-transfer agent in the production of specialty polymers and functional materials.
• Lipid Research: Essential reagent for the chemical synthesis of labeled or modified fatty acids, phospholipids, and glycolipids for biochemical studies.
• Surface Modification: Employed to functionalize surfaces and nanoparticles with long alkyl chains to alter wettability and biocompatibility.
• Organic Synthesis: A versatile electrophile for Friedel-Crafts acylation, nucleophilic substitution, and Grignard reactions to construct complex organic architectures.

Quality Control

Every batch of 2-Bromotetradecanoyl Bromide is manufactured and tested under strict quality management systems. Our products undergo rigorous quality testing, including chromatographic purity analysis and identity confirmation, to ensure compliance with industry standards and customer specifications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at 2-8°C (refrigerated) or as specified on the label. This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and a strong acid/organic solvent; keep the container tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to prevent degradation and moisture absorption. Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and incompatible materials.
