Hexadecyl bromide

1-Bromohexadecane_112-82-3_High Purity Cetyl Bromide_Surfactant Raw Material

Core Product Parameters:

1-Bromohexadecane, also known as cetyl bromide, CAS: 112-82-3, molecular formula C16H33Br, molecular weight 305.34. This product appears as white to off-white flaky crystalline solid at room temperature (melting point 17-19°C) and is an important long-chain brominated alkane. Due to its unique sixteen-carbon chain structure, it exhibits excellent lipophilicity and surface activity, making it widely used as a raw material for surfactant synthesis and as a long-chain alkylating agent.

Specifications and Quality Control:

We provide high-purity 1-bromohexadecane with a standard specification of ≥98.0% (GC). Through strict quality control, the product features low color, low moisture (≤500 ppm), low acid value, and low impurity content. Each batch undergoes multiple tests including gas chromatography (GC) and Karl Fischer moisture analysis to ensure stable and reliable product quality that meets the needs of various application scenarios.

Main Application Areas:

1-Bromohexadecane is an important fine chemical intermediate, with primary applications including:

Surfactant synthesis: Preparation of cationic surfactants (such as cetyltrimethylammonium bromide CTAB) and amphoteric surfactants

Phase transfer catalyst: Used in the synthesis of quaternary ammonium salt phase transfer catalysts

Functional materials: Serves as a precursor for preparing ionic liquids, liquid crystal materials, and other functional materials

Pharmaceutical intermediates: Used in the synthesis of drug molecules with long-chain alkyl groups

Cosmetic ingredients: Used in personal care products as raw materials for emulsifiers and emollients

Organic synthesis: Functions as a long-chain alkylating agent in various organic synthesis reactions

Usage, Storage, and Safety Guidelines:

This product should be handled in a well-ventilated environment and requires heating to melt into a liquid before use. Store sealed, protected from light, in a cool and dry place (recommended storage temperature 2-8°C).
