Application

1-Bromohexadecane has been used:
  • in the preparation of soluble carbon nano-onions by covalent functionalization with hexadecyl chains
  • as extraction solvent in determination of endocrine-disrupting phenols (EDPs) in water samples by ultrasound-assisted emulsification microextraction (MS-USAEME) method
  • in the preparation of [2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl]dimethylhexadecylammonium bromide monomer, required for the synthesis of novel methacrylate based adsorbents
  • in the synthesis of surfactant, N-hexadecyl ethylenediamine triacetic acid (HED3A)
