Description

(3-Bromo-1,2-Phenylene)Dimethanol is a versatile brominated aromatic diol building block of significant interest in advanced organic synthesis. Its value lies in the dual functionality of its hydroxymethyl groups, which can be readily modified, and the bromine atom, which serves as a handle for further cross-coupling reactions. This compound is primarily needed by research and development chemists in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries for constructing complex molecular architectures, such as ligands, polymers, and active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) intermediates.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key precursor in the synthesis of novel drug candidates, particularly for constructing fused ring systems and functionalized aromatic cores.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the development of new herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators that require specific brominated aromatic scaffolds.
• Ligand and Catalyst Development: Serves as a backbone for creating chelating ligands used in asymmetric catalysis and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs).
• Polymer Chemistry: Acts as a monomer or chain extender for producing specialty polymers, such as polyesters and polyurethanes, with enhanced properties.
• Material Science Research: Employed in the development of organic electronic materials, liquid crystals, and advanced resins.
• Chemical Research & Development: A valuable building block for academic and industrial research into new organic reactions and methodologies.

Quality Control

Our (3-Bromo-1,2-Phenylene)Dimethanol is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and GC, to ensure high purity and consistent performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

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 by atmospheric moisture.
