Description

Bromotetradecylmagnesium is a Grignard reagent featuring a long-chain tetradecyl group, widely used as a critical building block in advanced organic synthesis. Its primary value lies in its ability to introduce a 14-carbon alkyl chain into target molecules, enabling the construction of complex structures with specific hydrophobic properties. This compound is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty materials sectors who require precise carbon chain elongation and functionalization.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key reagent for synthesizing active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and drug candidates requiring long alkyl chain modifications.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the production of pesticides, herbicides, and plant growth regulators where specific chain length is crucial for bioactivity.
• Specialty Polymer & Material Science: Serves as an initiator or monomer for creating polymers with tailored hydrophobic characteristics and surface properties.
• Liquid Crystal & OLED Material Production: Employed in the synthesis of organic semiconductors and liquid crystal molecules for display technologies.
• Organic Synthesis & Catalysis: A versatile nucleophile for C-C bond formation in complex molecule construction, including natural product synthesis.
• Surfactant & Lubricant Additive Precursor: Used to create novel surfactants, corrosion inhibitors, and performance additives for industrial fluids.

Quality Control

Our Bromotetradecylmagnesium is manufactured under strict quality protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high reactivity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including titration for active magnesium content and GC analysis for solvent and impurity profiles. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, concentration, and physical properties is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) at recommended temperatures, typically between 2°C and 8°C for extended stability. This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and must be handled in a dry, inert environment to prevent decomposition.
