Description

Bromosuccinic Acid CAS NO 923-06-8 is a versatile brominated derivative of succinic acid, serving as a key chiral building block and reactive intermediate in advanced organic synthesis. Its value lies in its ability to introduce both a carboxylic acid functionality and a bromine atom, enabling a wide range of chemical transformations including nucleophilic substitutions and coupling reactions. This compound is essential for research and development chemists in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries who require high-purity intermediates for constructing complex molecular architectures.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A crucial precursor in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly for compounds requiring chiral centers or specific bromine substitution patterns.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the development of herbicides, fungicides, and other crop protection agents where the bromosuccinate moiety contributes to biological activity.
• Ligand and Catalyst Preparation: Serves as a starting material for synthesizing chiral ligands and metal-organic complexes used in asymmetric catalysis.
• Polymer Modification: Acts as a functional monomer or cross-linking agent to introduce carboxylic acid groups and modify the properties of specialty polymers.
• Bioconjugation and Peptide Chemistry: Utilized for modifying biomolecules, creating peptide mimetics, or as a linker in bioconjugate chemistry due to its reactive handles.
• Organic Synthesis Research: A valuable reagent in academic and industrial R&D for exploring new reaction methodologies and constructing complex organic molecules.

Quality Control

Our Bromosuccinic Acid is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and chiral analysis where applicable, to ensure it meets the stringent requirements of our global clientele. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment, documenting identity, assay, impurity profile, and physical characteristics. We support compliance with REACH and other relevant regulatory frameworks.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to its nature as a strong acid/organic solvent, store separately from bases, oxidizing agents, and reactive metals.
