Cetyl bromide pure
Product Description
Cetyl bromide is a C16 alkyl bromide (C₁₆H₃₃Br) specified for use as an intermediate in industrial organic synthesis. The substance corresponds to 1-bromohexadecane (CAS 112-82-3) and is supplied with defined technical properties to support reproducible processing . It is delivered as an amber semi-solid, insoluble in water and soluble in alcohols, ethers and acetone, enabling its use in typical organic reaction systems . The product is designated for professional manufacturing environments requiring long-chain alkyl bromides as building blocks in downstream synthesis.
Cetyl bromide pure is a high-quality alkyl bromide designed for precise and reproducible chemical synthesis. Its defined purity and consistent composition make it a reliable intermediate for manufacturers who require controlled reactivity and dependable batch-to-batch performance.
As a long-chain alkyl bromide, it enables efficient introduction of hydrophobic C16 chains into target molecules. Technical users benefit from a product specified for professional industrial processing and scalable production environments.
