Description

Bromoacetic Acid 1,4-Butanediyl Ester is a specialized bifunctional ester derivative of bromoacetic acid, serving as a versatile chemical intermediate for advanced synthesis. Its value lies in its ability to act as a linker or spacer molecule, introducing reactive bromoacetate groups into target compounds. This product is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and polymer industries who require a high-purity building block for creating complex molecules, functional materials, or cross-linked polymers.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly for creating prodrugs or bifunctional conjugates.
• Polymer Chemistry: Acts as a cross-linking agent or monomer for producing specialty polymers with specific functional groups.
• Bioconjugation Reagent: Serves as a linker in the development of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) or other bioconjugates due to its reactive ester groups.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Employed as a key intermediate in the manufacture of certain herbicides and plant growth regulators.
• Material Science: Used in surface modification and the creation of functionalized materials for coatings or sensors.
• Organic Synthesis Building Block: Provides a versatile handle for introducing bromoacetate functionality in complex molecule construction.

Quality Control

Our Bromoacetic Acid 1,4-Butanediyl Ester is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including assay by HPLC, identification by IR spectroscopy, and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial synthesis. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, physical properties, and test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). This compound is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); therefore, containers must be kept tightly sealed to exclude moisture. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
