China and India are the leading exporters of 1,4-Dibromobutane, accounting for the majority of global shipments in recent years, while the United States, Germany, and South Korea represent the largest importing markets. Imports into the U.S. and EU have remained relatively stable since 2022, with modest growth observed in Southeast Asian demand, coinciding with steady 1,4-Dibromobutane prices amid consistent industrial procurement patterns.
1,4-Dibromobutane is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a mild chloroform-like odor and moderate volatility; it has a boiling point of approximately 199–200 °C and a melting point near 10 °C. It is classified as an aliphatic dibromoalkane and serves primarily as a bifunctional alkylating agent and versatile synthetic intermediate. Its principal industrial use is in the preparation of heterocyclic compounds—including pyrrolidines and tetrahydrothiophenes—as well as in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and specialty polymers. It is commonly employed in cross-linking reactions, quaternization processes, and as a precursor to plasticizers, corrosion inhibitors, and functionalized surfactants.
1,4-Dibromo butane was used to investigate the metabolism of two halopropanes: 1,3-dichloropropane and 2,2-dichloropropane. It was used as reagent during the synthesis of diazadioxa oxovanadium(IV) macrocyclic complexes.
Clear, colorless liquid
