7-Bromoheptanol(CAT: R043538) is a linear aliphatic compound featuring both a primary alcohol and a terminal bromine atom on a seven-carbon chain. Its bifunctional nature makes it a valuable intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly for constructing molecules requiring both nucleophilic and electrophilic sites. The hydroxyl group allows for esterification, oxidation, or ether formation, while the bromoalkyl group readily participates in nucleophilic substitution reactions, enabling chain extensions or functional group transformations. 7-Bromoheptanol is often used in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, surfactants, and specialty materials.
