1,4-Dibromobutane is used as an intermediate involved in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredient and other organic compounds. It is also used in the investigation of metabolism of two halopropanes such as 1,3-dichloropropane and 2,2-dichloropropane. Further, it acts as a reagent to prepare diazadioxa oxovanadium(IV) macrocyclic complexes.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
