Description

8-Bromooctanoic Acid (CAS No. 17696-11-6) is a high-purity brominated carboxylic acid with the molecular formula C₈H₁₅BrO₂. This compound is a versatile intermediate in organic synthesis, featuring an 8-carbon alkyl chain terminated by a bromine atom and a carboxylic acid functional group. It is particularly valuable in the preparation of ω-brominated fatty acid derivatives, which are widely used in pharmaceutical research, polymer chemistry, and materials science. Our product is rigorously tested to ensure ≥98% purity (GC), with low levels of heavy metals and other impurities, making it suitable for sensitive applications. Available in crystalline form, it is packaged under inert conditions to ensure stability and longevity. Ideal for nucleophilic substitution reactions, cross-coupling reactions, and as a precursor for bifunctional linkers in bioconjugation.
