General description

8-Bromooctanoic acid, also known as 8-bromocaprylic acid, is a cross-linking reagent. It can undergo hydrolysis to form 8-hydroxyoctanoic acid.[1]

Application

8-Bromooctanoic acid can be used as a crosslinking reagent to:
  • prepare 8-mercaptooctanoic acid in the biosynthesis of lipoic acid[2]
  • attach triple helix-forming oligonucleotides (TFOs) to inhibitors in their synthesis[3]
