Product Parameters

Bromooctane (n-Octyl Bromide) CAS No.: 111-83-1,Molecular formula: C8H17Br,M.W.: 193.13, is a colourless to slight yellow clear liquid.1-Bromooctane is a long-chain alkyl bromide that combines exceptional lipophilicity and specific spatial structure. Therefore, it is widely used as an efficient octylating agent, capable of reliably introducing n-octyl groups into organic molecules, and serves as an important building block for the synthesis of various functional compounds.

Specifications & Quality Control

We provide high-purity Bromooctane with a standard specification of ≥ 99.0% (GC). Through strict distillation process and process quality control, the product has the characteristics of low color (APHA), low moisture (determined by Karl Fischer method), low acid value, and low impurity content, ensuring excellent reaction efficiency and product purity guarantee for key reactions such as nucleophilic substitution. Its excellent batch consistency meets the full process requirements from laboratory research and development to industrial production.

Main Applications

1-Bromooctane is an important fine chemical intermediate with a wide range of applications, including:

Pharmaceutical & Agrochemical Intermediates:

As a key building block, it is used in the synthesis of a range of pharmaceutical molecules and highly effective, low-toxicity pesticides, introducing octyl chains to modulate biological activity and pharmacokinetic properties.

Fragrance & Dye Chemistry:

Used for synthesizing spice compounds with special fragrances and as a modifier for dye intermediates.

Functional Materials & Surfactants:

As a precursor, it is used to prepare special surfactants, functional polymer materials, and solvents and reagents in organic synthesis.

R&D & Experiment:

Routinely employed in academic and industrial laboratories for method-development, route-scouting and scale-up studies.

Use, Storage & Safety Guidelines

This product is recommended to be operated in a well ventilated environment and avoid contact with strong oxidants. When storing, it should be sealed, away from light, and placed in a cool and dry place.Operators must wear chemically resistant gloves, goggles, and impervious clothing; prevent inhalation of vapours and avoid contact with skin or eyes.
