2-bromopropane

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.

Where is 2-bromopropane used?

• Pharmaceutical synthesis: key building block for active pharmaceutical ingredients and intermediates requiring selective isopropylation
• Agrochemicals: synthesis of herbicide and pesticide compounds
• Plastics and polymer chemistry: flame retardant formulations and specialty polymer modifications
• Textile and leather processing: solvent and chemical intermediate in dyeing auxiliaries and pigment-related formulations
• It functions as an alkylating agent, introducing isopropyl groups into target molecules.

Good to know: Controlled alkylation determines the efficacy profile of the final active ingredient in agricultural applications. Buyers should confirm purity specifications and stabilizer content when sourcing for sensitive synthesis processes.
