1-Bromo-4-chlorobutane CAS 6940-78-9
Aure Chemical Supplies Premium 1-Bromo-4-chlorobutane CAS 6940-78-9 for Global Industries
1-Bromo-4-chlorobutane is a clear liquid featuring two different halogen atoms on a four-carbon chain. The differing reactivity of the bromide and chloride allows for selective substitution in multi-step syntheses.
This makes it a practical building block for extending carbon chains or introducing functional groups in complex molecule construction. Aure Chemical maintains consistent purity levels and full traceability for every shipment.
