Description

S-(11-Bromoundecyl) Thioacetate is a specialized bifunctional organic intermediate featuring both a reactive bromoalkyl chain and a protected thiol group. This compound matters for its versatility in controlled synthesis, where it serves as a key building block for introducing sulfur-containing moieties with precise chain lengths. It is primarily needed by researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, materials science, and specialty chemical industries for applications such as ligand synthesis, polymer modification, and surface functionalization.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and prodrugs requiring thiol or disulfide linkages.
• Polymer & Material Science: Acts as a functional monomer or cross-linking agent for creating polymers with specific mechanical or surface properties.
• Surface Modification & Self-Assembled Monolayers (SAMs): Employed to functionalize gold, silver, or other metal surfaces for sensor development and nanotechnology applications.
• Ligand & Chelator Synthesis: Serves as a precursor for creating custom ligands used in catalysis or metal ion chelation.
• Bioconjugation: Facilitates the attachment of biomolecules (e.g., peptides, proteins) to other entities via thiol-reactive chemistry.
• Organic Synthesis Building Block: Provides a protected thiol and a terminal alkyl halide for sequential, multi-step synthetic routes.

Quality Control

Our S-(11-Bromoundecyl) Thioacetate is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chromatography and spectroscopy, to ensure high purity and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specific batch results are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent degradation.
