11 Bromo Undeccanoic acid

11-Bromo Undecanoic Acid is an organic compound with the molecular formula C11H21BrO2. It is a bifunctional molecule, meaning it contains two distinct functional groups. A bromo group (-Br) at the 11th carbon position. A carboxylic acid group (-COOH) at the 1st carbon position.
  • Boiling Point: Higher due to long hydrocarbon chain
  • Appearance:White to off-white solid or crystalline powder.
  • Solubility: Soluble in organic solvents like chloroform, methanol, and ethanol; slightly soluble in water.
  • Melting Point: Around 50-55°C.
  • Chemical Intermediate: Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, especially in the production of surfactants, polymers, and functionalized materials.
  • Surface Modification: The carboxylic acid group can bind to metal surfaces (e.g., gold, silver), while the bromine end can be further modified to attach other functional molecules.
  • Linker in Bioconjugation: In biological and materials science, it can act as a spacer or linker for attaching biomolecules to surfaces.
  • Polymer Chemistry: Used to introduce functionality into polymer chains or to modify polymer surfaces.
