10-Bromo-1-decene
10-Bromo-1-decene (CAS: 62871-09-4) is an organobromine compound with the formula Br(CH2)8CH=CH2 and a molecular weight of 219.16 g/mol. This linear alpha-olefin functionalised with a terminal bromide offers dual reactivity. It serves as a versatile building block in organic synthesis, particularly for introducing long alkyl chains with a reactive halide and a terminal double bond into more complex molecules.

Organic Synthesis Intermediate
Utilised as a bifunctional building block, 10-Bromo-1-decene allows for sequential or selective reactions at either the alkene or the alkyl bromide terminus. This enables the construction of complex molecular architectures.
Polymer Chemistry
The terminal double bond can participate in polymerisation reactions, while the bromoalkyl chain can be used for post-polymerisation modification or to introduce specific functionalities into polymer backbones or side chains.
Material Science
Serves as a precursor for synthesising specialised monomers or functional molecules used in the development of novel materials with tailored properties, such as surfactants or lubricating agents.
