1,4-Dibromobutane（Cat No.:R018157）is a bifunctional alkylating agent featuring bromine atoms at both terminal positions of a four-carbon linear chain. It serves as a versatile intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the formation of cyclic compounds, polymers, and cross-linked materials. Its symmetrical structure makes it ideal for constructing macrocycles, heterocycles, and as a linker in medicinal chemistry. Commonly used in nucleophilic substitution and Grignard reactions, 1,4-Dibromobutane is also valuable in materials science for synthesizing specialty elastomers, resins, and other functionalized building blocks.
