Flavors and fragrances
1. High-Efficiency Pharmaceutical Intermediates (Drug Synthesis)Ethyl Bromide is a cornerstone in the pharmaceutical industry, primarily serving as a potent ethylating agent.
The "Why": Due to the excellent leaving group ability of the bromine atom, it facilitates the introduction of ethyl groups into various organic molecules through nucleophilic substitution reactions.
Application: It is crucial in the synthesis of barbiturates (sedatives), anesthetics, and certain antibiotics. By ensuring a purity of ≥99.0%, NCMC helps manufacturers achieve higher yields and reduce impurity profiles in complex Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) production.
2. Flavors & Fragrances ManufacturingIn the delicate world of aromatic chemistry, Bromoethane is an indispensable raw material for creating specific scent profiles.
The "Why": It acts as an intermediate to produce synthetic musk and various fruit-based esters. These compounds require high chemical stability and precise reaction control, which start with the quality of the ethylating precursor.
Application: Widely used in the formulation of soaps, detergents, and high-end perfumes where consistent chemical properties are vital for maintaining the longevity of the fragrance.
3. Advanced Organic Synthesis & Lab ResearchBeyond mass production, Ethyl Bromide is a standard reagent in both industrial-scale chemical reactions and specialized laboratory research.
The "Why": It is a preferred choice in Grignard reactions to form Ethylmagnesium Bromide ($C_2H_5MgBr$), a powerful tool for building carbon-carbon bonds.
Application: It plays a significant role in the production of agricultural chemicals, dyes, and specialty plastics, serving as a versatile building block for custom organic synthesis.

As a professional manufacturer, we provide Ethyl Bromide (Bromoethane) with a guaranteed purity of ≥99.0%. Each batch is tested via Gas Chromatography (GC) to ensure high quality for pharmaceutical and fragrance synthesis.
It is primarily used as an ethylating agent in organic synthesis. Key industries include pharmaceuticals (for drug intermediates), flavors and fragrances, and as a solvent in various chemical processes.
The boiling point of Ethyl Bromide is 38.4 °C, and its density is approximately 1.46 g/cm³ at 20 °C. Because of its low boiling point, it is highly volatile and should be handled with care.
It must be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated warehouse (below 30°C). Keep containers tightly sealed and away from direct sunlight, heat, and oxidizers. During transport, it is classified as Dangerous Goods (Grade 6.1).
