Product Parameters
1-Bromohexane (n-Hexyl Bromide) CAS No.: 111-25-1,Molecular formula: C6H13Br,M.W.: 165.07, is a colourless to slight yellow clear liquid.1-Bromohexane is a medium-chain alkyl bromide that combines favourable lipophilicity with a well-balanced reactivity profile. The compound is recognised as a high-performance hexylating agent, enabling the reliable, regioselective introduction of the n-hexyl group into a broad range of organic substrates. It therefore serves as a key building block for the synthesis of a broad range of functional compounds.
Specifications & Quality Control
We provide high-purity Bromohexane 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-Bromohexane is an important fine chemical intermediate with a wide range of applications, including:
Pharmaceutical & Agrochemical Intermediates:
As a key building block, it is used to synthesize a series of drug molecules and highly efficient and low toxicity pesticides, introducing a hexyl chain to regulate 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.
