Description

9,10-Dibromopalmitic Acid is a high-purity, synthetically valuable brominated fatty acid derivative. This compound serves as a critical intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly valued for introducing bromine functionality into long-chain molecular architectures. It is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and advanced materials sectors who require precise building blocks for developing active ingredients, liquid crystals, or specialty polymers.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of bioactive molecules and potential drug candidates, leveraging the bromine atoms for further functionalization.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Serves as a key precursor for creating herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators with specific chain-length properties.
• Liquid Crystal Materials: Acts as a building block for mesogenic compounds used in display technologies due to its aliphatic chain and terminal functional groups.
• Polymer Modification: Employed to introduce bromine or carboxylic acid groups into polymers for flame retardancy or to create reactive sites for cross-linking.
• Organic Synthesis Reagent: A versatile reagent for carbon chain elongation, cyclization reactions, and the preparation of more complex brominated compounds.
• Surfactant & Lubricant Additive Research: Investigated for developing novel anionic surfactants or extreme-pressure additives due to its fatty acid backbone.

Quality Control

Our 9,10-Dibromopalmitic Acid is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets precise customer specifications and industry standards. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

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). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation. Keep away from strong acids and incompatible materials.
