Product Description:

3-Benzyloxypropyl bromide is an organic compound with the molecular formula C₁₀H₁₃BrO. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature. Structurally, it features a bromopropyl chain terminated with a benzyloxy group, making it a bifunctional alkylating agent. This compound is primarily used as a versatile synthetic building block in organic chemistry. The reactive bromine atom allows for nucleophilic substitution reactions, such as alkylation of amines or thiols, while the benzyl-protected hydroxyl group can be deprotected to reveal a primary alcohol functionality. It serves as a key intermediate in the synthesis of various more complex molecules, including pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and functional materials. As a halogenated ether, it requires careful handling due to its lachrymatory (tear-inducing) properties and potential skin and eye irritation. It is typically stored under inert conditions to prevent decomposition.
