Applications
1-Bromooctadecane is used in the preparation of shortened single-walled carbon nanotubes (s-SWCNTs). It is utilized to prepare octadecane in the presence of sodium borohydride as a catalyst. It is involved as a raw material for the preparation of dimethyldistearylammonium bromide, which is a bentonite modifier.
