Description

2-Bromodecanoic Acid (CAS No. 2623-95-2) is a high-purity brominated fatty acid derivative with the molecular formula C₁₀H₁₉BrO₂. This compound is widely utilized in organic synthesis, pharmaceutical research, and material science due to its reactive bromine substituent at the alpha position. The product is supplied as a white to off-white crystalline solid with a typical purity of ≥98%, ensuring consistency for sensitive applications. Its long hydrophobic carbon chain (C10) makes it particularly useful for modifying lipophilicity in molecular design. 2-Bromodecanoic acid is packaged under inert conditions to maintain stability and is available in various quantities to suit laboratory-scale or bulk requirements. Proper storage at 2-8°C in a tightly sealed container is recommended to prevent degradation.
