1-Bromotetradecane (112-71-0) (Myristyl Bromide)

1-Bromotetradecane is a straight-chain halogenated aliphatic compound with a bromine atom attached to the first carbon of a fourteen-carbon chain. It appears as a colorless liquid and is moderately soluble in organic solvents like ethanol, ether, and chloroform. The terminal bromine atom makes it chemically reactive, allowing it to undergo substitution, coupling, and functionalization reactions.
It is widely used as a chemical intermediate in pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical synthesis for producing active pharmaceutical ingredients, surfactants, fine chemicals, and polymer intermediates. It is also employed in research laboratories for developing novel compounds and intermediates, supporting the synthesis of complex molecules in various chemical industries.
