2-Bromocyclohexanol , CAS 2425-33-4 and EC 219-193-5 , is a vicinal bromohydrin with molecular formula C6H11BrO and molecular weight 179.05 g/mol. The relative configuration of the bromine and hydroxyl groups matters: CAS 2425-33-4 is associated with trans-2-bromocyclohexanol records, while other stereoisomeric forms have separate identifiers. Buyers should therefore define cis/trans composition, enantiomeric requirements, assay and route-critical impurities rather than purchasing from the generic name alone.

Applications and grade selection
2-Bromocyclohexanol may be evaluated in controlled substitution, elimination, epoxide formation and other bromohydrin transformations. Reaction outcome depends strongly on stereochemistry, base, solvent and temperature, so a generic purity figure does not by itself predict process performance.
- Define whether trans material, a cis/trans mixture or a specific stereochemical composition is required.
- Agree the analytical method and limits for isomers, epoxide, elimination products, residual precursors, water and acidity.
- Compare conversion, selectivity and downstream impurity profile in a representative small-scale reaction.
Storage and handling
Store tightly closed in compatible packaging under the temperature, light and moisture conditions stated in the current SDS and COA. Minimize repeated opening and monitor any composition, color or acidity change during qualification.
Safety, documentation and procurement
Handle as a reactive bromohydrin intermediate using suitable gloves, eye protection and ventilation. Procurement should define stereochemical requirements, test methods, quantity, package, destination, shipping conditions and supporting documents.
FAQ - Technical & Supply Chain
-
Q:
Does CAS 2425-33-4 identify an unspecified 2-Bromocyclohexanol mixture?
A: No. CAS 2425-33-4 is associated with trans-2-bromocyclohexanol; the cis stereoisomer is a different material. If a process depends on stereochemistry, define the required trans content, permitted cis content and whether a racemic trans material or a specific enantiomer is acceptable. -
Q:
Which analytical controls should be agreed for 2-Bromocyclohexanol?
A: Use structural identity data together with an assay method that can distinguish relevant stereoisomeric or reaction-derived impurities. Specify trans/cis composition, water, residual solvents and appearance as needed for the process, and review the chromatographic or spectral evidence supplied with the batch rather than relying on total assay alone.
