Description :

Overview of 1-Bromohexadecane

1-Bromohexadecane (also called cetyl bromide or hexadecyl-bromide) is a clear-to pale yellow liquid bromide employed as an alkylating long-chain substance in organic synthesis, as well as for altering the surface of surfaces.

Chemical Formula C16H33Br Molecular weight 305.34 mg/mol. CAS number 112-82-3. The boiling temperature is 190 °C when 11mm Hg (approximately 336 °C when atmospheric pressure is at its highest). Specific properties include low volatility, high density (~1.00 grams per mL) and a reactive bromide to facilitate nucleophilic replacements

Applications of 1-Bromohexadecane

Surface Chemistry and Surfactants

• It is used in the synthesis of cationic surfactants, phase-transfer catalysts, and the quaternary ammonium compound

• Alkylating agent used for the function-enhancing nanoparticles, carbon materials, and insoluble carbon nano-onions

Industrial Synthesis

• Intermediates in speciality chemicals, lubricants and polymer modifiers

• Related to long-chain silane modifications using Dodecyltrimethoxysilane for hydrophobic coatings

Safety and Handling Guidelines

• Use protective glasses, gloves, and the appropriate clothes to prevent eye irritation and skin irritation.

• Beware of prolonged contact with skin as well as breathing in the vapours

• Make use of it only in an air-conditioned area or the fume hood

• Place in containers that are sealed, far from light and heat 

• Use MSDS guidelines as well as standard safety procedures (irritant or fire-hazardous)
