Description

2-Bromo-1-Decanal is a versatile aliphatic aldehyde building block, prized for its reactive bromine and formyl functional groups. This bifunctional nature makes it a critical intermediate for synthesizing complex molecules in advanced research and industrial applications. It is particularly valuable for pharmaceutical chemists and agrochemical manufacturers developing novel active ingredients, as well as for researchers in material science and fragrance chemistry.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key synthon for the preparation of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), especially those requiring specific alkyl chain modifications.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the development of novel herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators.
• Organic Synthesis Building Block: Employed in nucleophilic substitution and carbonyl addition reactions to create complex aldehydes, alcohols, and heterocyclic compounds.
• Material Science Research: Serves as a precursor for surface-modifying agents and monomers for specialty polymers.
• Fragrance & Flavor Chemistry: Used in the synthesis of aroma chemicals with unique fatty, aldehydic notes.
• Cross-Coupling Reactions: Acts as a substrate in palladium-catalyzed reactions like Suzuki or Heck couplings for carbon-carbon bond formation.

Quality Control

Our 2-Bromo-1-Decanal is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatography (HPLC/GC) and spectroscopic methods (NMR, IR), to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, confirming compliance with agreed specifications. We support cGMP and ISO standards for research and industrial-grade materials.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability. Allow the container to reach room temperature before opening to minimize moisture ingress.
