Description

n-Bromoacetyl-n-Tetradecylamine CAS NO 74716-96-4 is a specialized bromoacetyl derivative of a long-chain fatty amine, serving as a valuable bifunctional building block in organic synthesis. This compound is particularly significant for its ability to introduce both a reactive bromoacetyl group and a lipophilic tetradecyl chain into target molecules. It is primarily needed by researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries for the development of novel surfactants, bioactive conjugates, and advanced materials.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of potential drug candidates, particularly for creating lipophilic prodrugs or conjugates that enhance cellular uptake.
• Surfactant & Emulsifier Research: Acts as a key precursor for developing novel cationic or zwitterionic surfactants with specific chain lengths.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Employed in creating specialized adjuvants or active ingredients that require a specific fatty amine backbone.
• Bioconjugation & Labeling: Useful for modifying peptides, proteins, or other biomolecules with hydrophobic tags or functional handles via the reactive bromoacetyl group.
• Polymer & Material Science: Serves as a monomer or modifier for synthesizing functional polymers, coatings, or dendrimers.
• Chemical Biology Probes: Utilized in the design of affinity probes or cross-linking agents for studying biological membranes and protein-lipid interactions.

Quality Control

Our n-Bromoacetyl-n-Tetradecylamine is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via IR and NMR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial synthesis. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment and is available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong bases and reducing agents.
