Intermediates 8-Bromo-1-octanol for critical molecular building block

Product Overview

8-Bromo-1-octanol (CAS 15181-40-7) is an essential organic intermediate belonging to the class of bromo alcohols. Its molecular structure, comprising an eight-carbon alkyl chain terminated with a reactive bromine atom and a hydroxyl group, establishes it as a pivotal linear linker in sophisticated organic synthesis. This bifunctionality allows researchers to efficiently extend carbon chains and introduce specific functionalities into target molecules.
