Used primarily as an intermediate in organic synthesis, 2-Bromononane serves in the preparation of higher molecular weight alkanes and functionalized hydrocarbons through coupling reactions. It is employed in the formation of carbon-carbon bonds via Grignard reagent formation or lithium-halogen exchange, enabling the construction of complex organic molecules. Its reactivity as a secondary alkyl halide makes it suitable for nucleophilic substitution and elimination reactions, useful in pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical manufacturing. Additionally, it can act as a building block in the synthesis of surfactants, lubricants, and long-chain modifiers where controlled chain length and branching are required.
