1-Bromohexane (n-Hexylbromide)

Overview

1-Bromohexane (n-Hexylbromide)

1-Bromohexane is a high-purity, transparent liquid made from pure bromine sourced from the Dead Sea. This chemical intermediate is crucial in the production of fine chemicals, flavors, fragrances, and industrial additives. It is widely used in Grignard chemistry to incorporate a hexyl-group into a targeted position within a molecule.
