Product Description:

10-Bromo-1-decanol is an organic compound featuring a linear ten-carbon chain with a bromine atom at one terminus and a hydroxyl group at the other. This bifunctional structure makes it a versatile building block in synthetic chemistry. Its primary industrial application is as a key monomer or intermediate in the synthesis of polymers and advanced materials. It is notably used to produce poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) derivatives with specific terminal functionalities, which are crucial for creating functionalized surfaces, hydrogels, and biocompatible polymer conjugates. The bromine serves as an excellent leaving group for nucleophilic substitution reactions, allowing for the introduction of the decanol chain into various molecular architectures. This compound is also employed in the preparation of liquid crystals, surfactants, and as a precursor for other long-chain functionalized molecules used in material science and chemical research.
