Product Overview
1-Bromobutane (CAS 109-65-9), also known as n-butyl bromide, is a primary alkyl halide extensively employed as a key intermediate in pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and fine chemical manufacturing. This colorless to pale yellow liquid exhibits excellent reactivity in nucleophilic substitution reactions, making it indispensable for constructing carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bonds in complex organic syntheses.

Industrial Applications
As a fundamental building block in synthetic chemistry, 1-Bromobutane serves multiple critical roles:
- Acts as an efficient alkylating agent in the preparation of quaternary ammonium salts, ethers, and esters.
- Functions as a specialty solvent in controlled reaction environments requiring moderate polarity.
- Utilized in hydrometallurgical processes for the selective extraction of rare earth elements and other metals.
- Serves as a precursor in the synthesis of surfactants, plasticizers, and flavor/fragrance compounds.
Manufactured via the acid-catalyzed reaction of n-butanol with hydrobromic acid, our 1-Bromobutane undergoes rigorous quality control to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and compliance with international industrial standards. Standard packaging is 250 kg per drum, with custom options available upon request.
