Description

3-(5-Bromo-2-Hydroxyphenyl)Propanoic Acid CAS NO 749878-59-9 is a high-purity brominated phenolic acid derivative, serving as a critical building block in advanced organic synthesis. Its unique structure, featuring both a phenolic hydroxyl and a carboxylic acid group activated by an ortho-bromine substituent, makes it a versatile intermediate for constructing complex molecular architectures. This compound is primarily sought after by research institutions and pharmaceutical companies engaged in the development of novel active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and specialty fine chemicals.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key precursor in the synthesis of complex drug molecules, particularly those targeting neurological and inflammatory pathways.
• Ligand Synthesis: Used to create specialized ligands for catalysis and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) due to its chelating phenolic and carboxylic acid groups.
• Polymer Chemistry: Serves as a monomer or functionalization agent for producing specialty polymers with enhanced thermal or chemical resistance.
• Agrochemical Research: Employed in the research and development of new herbicides and plant growth regulators.
• Material Science: Utilized in the development of advanced organic electronic materials and non-linear optical (NLO) compounds.
• Chemical Biology: Acts as a probe or linker molecule in bioconjugation and proteomics research.

Quality Control

Our 3-(5-Bromo-2-Hydroxyphenyl)Propanoic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, NMR and IR for structural confirmation, and tests for residual solvents and heavy metals, to ensure it meets the exacting standards required for pharmaceutical and advanced synthetic applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all specifications are 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 light-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store the product under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term preservation to maintain optimal purity and stability. Keep away from heat and incompatible materials.
