Collection: Branched Alkyl Sources [Material Building Blocks]

Branched Alkyl Sources [Material Building Blocks] — contains branched alcohols, amines, and alkyl bromides with long hydrocarbon chains and branching points at specific positions, including undecane, pentadecane, and nonadecane derivatives. This branched structure provides high lipophilicity while inhibiting overly tight molecular packing.

Branched alkyl sources are used by materials researchers and organic chemists to introduce branched side chains onto aromatic frameworks or polymers to improve solubility in organic solvents without altering the electronic core of the molecule. Derivatives such as branched alkyl bromides are often used as alkylating reagents for phenol, thiol, or amine groups in the synthesis of functional materials and organic semiconductors.

Example products in this collection: TCI U0094 33788-00-0 6-Undecanamine, TCI B5550 217655-07-7 2-Butyl-n-octan-1-amine, TCI U0040 23708-56-7 6-Undecanol, TCI B5691 732276-63-0 11-(Bromomethyl)tricosane, TCI B5188 69620-20-8 9-(Bromomethyl)nonadecane, TCI B5721 85531-02-8 5-(Bromomethyl)undecane, TCI B4544 52997-43-0 7-(Bromomethyl)pentadecane, TCI B5808 1379440-97-7 (R)-3-(Bromomethyl)heptane.

Pay attention to the branching position of the alkyl chain and the type of terminal functional group (alcohol, amine, or bromide), as both determine reactivity and contribution to the solubility of the final product. All products are genuine products of Tokyo Chemical Industry (TCI) Japan, with purity, packaging, and storage conditions listed on each item's page.
