Product Description:

1-Bromoheptane is a straight-chain alkyl bromide with the molecular formula C7H15Br. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic odor. It is insoluble in water but miscible with most organic solvents such as ethanol, ether, and chloroform. Primarily, 1-bromoheptane serves as a versatile alkylating agent and a fundamental building block in organic synthesis. It is extensively used to introduce the heptyl group into various molecules through nucleophilic substitution reactions (e.g., SN2). Its applications include the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, liquid crystals, surfactants, and fragrances. It is also employed as a precursor for the preparation of other organometallic reagents like heptylmagnesium bromide (Grignard reagent). As a halogenated hydrocarbon, it requires careful handling. It is flammable and may be harmful if inhaled or absorbed through the skin. Proper personal protective equipment and adequate ventilation are essential during its use.
