CAS 79-08-3 · Brominated Compound · 2 functional traits · cGMP compliant · Ships from USA in 2-3 days
Bromoacetic acid 99% (CAS Number: 79-08-3) is a bromo-substituted intermediate prized for its reactivity in metal-catalyzed coupling. ChemContract Research supplies this simple-complexity compound in high purity from our Huntington Beach, California facility, ensuring consistent quality and reliable domestic delivery throughout the United States.
Aryl and alkyl bromides occupy a "Goldilocks zone" in cross-coupling — more reactive than chlorides yet more stable than iodides — making them the most commonly used coupling partners in process chemistry. Carboxylic acids are among the most synthetically versatile functional groups — they can be converted to amides, esters, acid chlorides, anhydrides, alcohols, and aldehydes in a single step.
Primary applications include grignard reagent preparation via magnesium insertion into c–br bond and amide bond formation via edc/hobt or hatu coupling in peptide synthesis. This compound serves researchers and manufacturers across the pharmaceutical, fine chemical, agrochemical sectors. Whether you require Bromoacetic acid 99% for early-stage research, process development, or commercial-scale production, ChemContract Research offers flexible ordering from milligram to multi-kilogram quantities with custom synthesis options and full batch documentation including Certificates of Analysis (CoA) and Safety Data Sheets.

Yes. ChemContract Research offers custom synthesis services for Bromoacetic acid 99% from milligram to multi-kilogram scale. Our cGMP-compliant facilities and experienced chemists can accommodate custom specifications, packaging requirements, and delivery timelines. Contact our team to discuss your project.
For amide bond formation from the carboxylic acid in Bromoacetic acid 99%, HATU/DIPEA is recommended for peptide coupling (high yield, low epimerization). EDC/HOBt is a cost-effective alternative for non-peptide amides. T3P (propylphosphonic acid anhydride) offers excellent atom economy with easy workup. For ester formation, DCC/DMAP (Steglich conditions) or Mitsunobu conditions are standard.
As a brominated compound, Bromoacetic acid 99% is an excellent substrate for palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions including Suzuki, Heck, Negishi, Sonogashira, and Buchwald–Hartwig amination. It can also be used for Grignard reagent preparation, metal–halogen exchange with organolithium reagents, and nucleophilic substitution reactions.
