Description

2-Bromopropane (CAS 75-26-3 ), commercially known as isopropyl bromide, is an alkyl halide used as a reactive intermediate in organic synthesis and as a specialty solvent in industrial processing. It functions primarily as an alkylating agent, introducing isopropyl groups into target molecules across pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and polymer manufacturing workflows. In pharmaceutical synthesis, it serves as a key building block. This chemical is essential for producing active pharmaceutical ingredients and intermediates where selective isopropylation is required. Agrochemical manufacturers use it in the synthesis of herbicide and pesticide compounds. Controlled alkylation determines the efficacy profile of the final active ingredient in these agricultural applications. In plastics and polymer chemistry, it contributes to flame retardant formulations and specialty polymer modifications. Textile and leather processing operations use isopropyl bromide as a solvent and chemical intermediate in dyeing auxiliaries and pigment-related formulations. It is supplied as a clear liquid, typically available in technical and reagent grades. These grades meet the purity requirements of industrial and synthesis-scale buyers. Standard packaging includes drums and intermediate bulk containers, with high-purity grades available for pharmaceutical intermediate applications. Buyers should confirm purity specifications and stabilizer content when sourcing for sensitive synthesis processes. This ensures the material meets the specific demands of high-precision chemical manufacturing and laboratory research. Contact us for supply of 2-bromopropane Request Quote
