1. 5-Bromovaleric acid CAS 2067-33-6 acts as a crucial intermediate in organic synthesis, often used to introduce bromine-containing alkyl chains into molecules for preparing pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and functional organic compounds.
2. 5-Bromovaleric acid serves as a precursor for synthesizing lactones (e.g., δ-valerolactone) via intramolecular cyclization, which are key components in biodegradable polymers and fine chemicals.
3. 5-Bromovaleric acid CAS 2067-33-6 is utilized in the modification of biomolecules or polymers, leveraging its carboxylic acid and bromine functional groups to enable targeted chemical reactions (e.g., esterification, nucleophilic substitution).
Packed in 25 kg per drum or based on customers' requirements.
1. Store 5-Bromovaleric acid CAS 2067-33-6 in a tightly sealed, chemically resistant container (e.g., amber glass or HDPE) to prevent moisture absorption and minimize exposure to air, as 5-Bromovaleric acid carboxylic acid group may degrade slightly over time with humidity.
2. Keep 5-Bromovaleric acid in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from heat sources and incompatible substances like strong bases (to avoid neutralization) and reducing agents (to prevent unwanted reactions with the bromine group).
3. Label 5-Bromovaleric acid CAS 2067-33-6 the container clearly with its name and hazard information (e.g., irritant properties), and store separately from food, beverages, or substances sensitive to acidic/brominated compounds.
