Description : 1-Bromo-3-chloropropane (bcp) (CAS 109-70-6) is a high-purity, bifunctional halogenated alkane that serves as a cornerstone in modern organic synthesis. With it's unique chemical profile, featuring both a bromine & a chlorine atom on a propane backbone, it allows for highly selective, stepwise alkylation reactions due to the differing reactivity of the two halogen groups. In the pharmaceutical industry, it is a critical intermediate for the synthesis of cardiovascular drugs like Gemfibrozil and various central nervous system (CNS) agents, including phenothiazine-based antipsychotics. Within the agrochemical sector, it acts as a versatile building block for the production of specialized herbicides and soil fumigants. By providing a precise, high-yield bridge between raw elemental halogens and complex active molecules, 1-Bromo-3-chloropropane is an essential asset for fine chemical manufacturers and CDMOs focused on precision molecular engineering. We are a globally established life science, crop science, and elemental derivatives supplier, along with a broad portfolio of other speciality chemicals worldwide through comprehensive regulatory documentation (CoA), traceability, and consistent global supply capabilities, ensuring reliable lead times and quality assurance across all grades.
