1-(Bromoacetyl)pyrene, 97%

Application

1-(Bromoacetyl)pyrene is suitable for use in the following studies:As an initiator in the bulk polymerization of 2-ethyl-2-oxazoline to generate pyrene labelled poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline) (PETOX-py).As a fluorophore in the generation of podand-type fluoroionophores with two pyrene moieties.As a fluorescent labeling agent for the determination of okadaic acid toxin by HPLC with fluorescence detection.It may also be used in the following studies:As a photoremovable protecting group for carboxylic acids and amino acids.As a photoinitiator in the photopolymerization of styrene with methylmethacrylate.As a reactant in the synthesis of potentially tetradentate pyrene appended ligands.As a derivatizing agent of dialkyl phosphates (DAP) in the HPTLC method of quantitative determination of DAP in fruit juices.

General description

1-(Bromoacetyl)pyrene (BAP) is a pyrene derivative. It has been synthesized by reacting cupric bromide with 1-acetylpyrene. Studies suggest that the introduction of a bromoacetyl chromophoric moiety to pyrene drastically increases the photoinitiating efficiency of pyrenes.
