Description

1-(8-Bromooctyl)-3-Carbamoylpyridinium Bromide is a high-purity, functionalized pyridinium salt with a long aliphatic bromoalkyl chain, serving as a critical building block in advanced organic synthesis. Its value lies in its dual functionality, acting as both a lipophilic alkylating agent and a cationic precursor for creating novel materials and bioactive compounds. This compound is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and materials science industries, particularly for developing targeted drug delivery systems, surfactants, and ionic liquids.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key precursor for synthesizing novel cationic lipids used in mRNA and gene delivery systems (lipid nanoparticles - LNPs).
• Bioconjugation Reagent: Facilitates the alkylation and permanent cationic modification of peptides, proteins, and other biomolecules.
• Surfactant & Detergent Synthesis: Serves as a quaternary ammonium compound (quat) precursor for creating specialty surfactants with antimicrobial properties.
• Ionic Liquid Synthesis: Building block for designing task-specific ionic liquids with tailored properties for catalysis and separation.
• Agrochemical Research: Intermediate in the development of new plant growth regulators or cationic agrochemical formulations.
• Material Science: Used to modify polymer surfaces or create cationic functional groups within polymeric networks.
• Chemical Biology Probe: Employed to create membrane-anchoring probes or to study charge-dependent biological interactions.

Quality Control

Our 1-(8-Bromooctyl)-3-Carbamoylpyridinium Bromide is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and mass spectrometry, to ensure high chemical purity and structural identity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed specifications are provided for every shipment to support your R&D and quality assurance processes.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at 15-25°C. Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container should be kept sealed in a desiccated environment to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect stability and handling properties.
