1-Bromooctane
1-Bromooctane (CAS: 111-83-1) is a linear primary alkyl bromide supplied as a clear liquid for use as a reactive building block in organic synthesis. Its terminal bromine can be displaced in substitution reactions, introducing an octyl group into target molecules. Applications include preparing specialty intermediates and functional materials, with selected uses in surfactant-related compounds and polymer or semiconductor building blocks. Safety information identifies the material as combustible and hazardous to aquatic life, so handling requires appropriate controls for these hazards during laboratory and chemical synthesis work.
• Used as a primary alkylating reagent and intermediate in organic synthesis, where substitution reactions attach an octyl group to a target molecule.
• Applied in the preparation of specialty intermediates, including compounds used in pharmaceutical research and development.
• Serves as a building block for selected surfactant-related compounds, quaternary ammonium materials, and polymer modifiers.
• Used in specialty materials research, including reported organic semiconductor building blocks; analytical applications have also reported its use as an extraction solvent for volatile organic compounds in water samples.
