Product Overview

Allyl Bromide 98% For Synthesis (CAS No. 106-95-6) is an allylic halide in which a bromomethyl group is positioned adjacent to a carbon–carbon double bond. The allylic arrangement makes the carbon bearing bromine particularly responsive to nucleophilic substitution, allowing the compound to transfer an allyl group to a wide range of reactive substrates. Because the introduced double bond remains available for subsequent modification, allyl bromide is a valuable intermediate for constructing unsaturated organic compounds through sequential synthetic transformations.

The Synthesis grade is intended for preparative organic chemistry, reaction-development studies, and intermediate production where allyl bromide is used as an allylating reagent or synthetic building block. Its 98% purity supports routine laboratory synthesis involving the introduction of allyl functionality into oxygen-, nitrogen-, sulfur-, and carbon-centred nucleophiles, subject to the requirements of the selected reaction system.

Typical Applications

• Allylation of suitable alcohols and phenols to prepare allyl ethers
• Preparation of allyl esters from carboxylate-based reaction systems
• Synthesis of N-allyl and S-allyl organic derivatives
• Carbon–carbon bond formation through allylation of suitable carbon nucleophiles
• Introduction of terminal alkene functionality into synthetic intermediates
• Preparation of allyl-substituted compounds for further functional-group transformation
• Development and optimisation of nucleophilic substitution reactions
• Academic, research, and industrial work in preparative organic chemistry

Allyl bromide is established as a starting material and chemical intermediate for the preparation of polymers, resins, pharmaceuticals, agricultural chemicals, synthetic fragrances, and other allyl-containing compounds.
