Description

20-Bromo-1-Eicosanol is a high-purity, long-chain fatty alcohol derivative featuring a terminal bromine atom. This unique bifunctional structure makes it a valuable intermediate and building block in advanced organic synthesis, particularly for introducing lipophilic chains. It is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty materials sectors who require precise molecular modifications to develop new active compounds and functional polymers.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of novel drug candidates, particularly those targeting lipid metabolism or requiring membrane-permeable structures.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Serves as a key precursor for creating surfactants, emulsifiers, and active ingredients with enhanced bioavailability.
• Polymer Science: Acts as a monomer or chain-transfer agent in the production of specialty polymers, coatings, and lubricant additives.
• Lipid Research: A crucial tool in biochemical studies for synthesizing labeled lipids, phospholipid analogs, and other membrane components.
• Surface Modification: Employed to create self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) and functionalize surfaces for biomedical and analytical devices.
• Cosmetic Ingredient Synthesis: Used to manufacture high-value emollients, wax esters, and other personal care product ingredients.
