Description

Tetradecanoyl Bromide is a versatile fatty acid halide derivative, specifically the brominated form of myristic acid. This compound serves as a critical high-purity building block in organic synthesis, enabling the efficient introduction of the tetradecanoyl moiety. It is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical sectors who require reliable, high-quality intermediates for complex molecule construction.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key reagent in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly for creating amide bonds and ester linkages in drug candidates.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the production of herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators that incorporate long-chain fatty acid structures.
• Polymer & Material Science: Acts as a monomer or modifying agent in the creation of specialty polymers, surfactants, and lubricant additives.
• Bioconjugation & Labeling: Employed in biochemical research for lipid conjugation to peptides, proteins, or other biomolecules.
• Flavor & Fragrance Industry: Intermediate for the synthesis of esters used in high-value aroma compounds and flavoring agents.
• Organic Synthesis Reagent: A fundamental acylating agent in Friedel-Crafts and other acylation reactions in research and development laboratories.

Quality Control

Our Tetradecanoyl Bromide is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure high purity and consistency, meeting the stringent requirements of advanced synthetic applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and should be handled under anhydrous conditions to prevent decomposition. Keep away from strong bases and oxidizing agents.
