1,4-Di Bromo Butane
AD PHARMACHEM is known for manufacturer of 1,4-Di Bromo Butane intermediates.
1,4-Di Bromo Butane is a clear colorless to pale yellow liquid, an essential API intermediate known for its excellent miscibility with methanol and toluene. This versatility makes 1,4 – Di Bromo Butane ideal for various applications in the chemical industry. Additionally, the identification of 1,4 – Di Bromo Butane through gas chromatography (GC) shows that the retention time of the major peak in the sample chromatogram is consistent with the retention time of the standard, ensuring high-quality and reliable results in API production.
1,4-Dibromo butane can be synthesized through various methods, the most common being the free radical bromination of butane. In this process, butane reacts with bromine in the presence of a radical initiator, typically ultraviolet (UV) light or a peroxide. This reaction selectively adds bromine atoms to the butane chain, producing 1,4-dibromo-butane.
