Heptadecan-9-yl 6-bromohexanoate

Heptadecan-9-yl 6-bromohexanoate is a chemical reagent characterized by a bromide attached to a relatively large ester chain, composed of a C6 ester coupled with the central position of a C17 chain. The bromide is readily replaced by nucleophiles in substitution reactions. Heptadecan-9-yl 6-bromohexanoate can serve as an intermediate for constructing lipid nanoparticles.
