Description

2-Amino-4-Bromobenzyl Alcohol is a versatile aromatic amino alcohol derivative, serving as a critical building block in advanced organic synthesis. Its bifunctional nature, featuring both an amino and a hydroxyl group on a brominated benzene ring, makes it a valuable intermediate for constructing complex molecular architectures. This compound is primarily utilized by research institutions and industrial manufacturers in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical sectors for the development of active ingredients and specialty chemicals.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key precursor in the synthesis of novel drug candidates, particularly for central nervous system (CNS) agents and anti-inflammatory compounds.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Building block for creating advanced herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators.
• Ligand and Catalyst Development: Used to prepare chiral ligands for asymmetric catalysis and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs).
• Dye and Pigment Manufacturing: Intermediate in the production of specialized azo dyes and high-performance pigments.
• Polymer Modification: Functional monomer for introducing amino and hydroxyl groups into polymer backbones to alter material properties.
• Academic and R&D: Serves as a standard reagent in university and corporate research laboratories for methodological studies and novel compound discovery.

Quality Control

Our 2-Amino-4-Bromobenzyl Alcohol is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and GC-MS, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment. We adhere to cGMP principles for pharmaceutical-grade material and can support customer-specific validation requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents.
