4,4-Bis(triethoxysilyl)-1,1-biphenyl, 95%

Application

4,4′-Bis(triethoxysilyl)-1,1′-biphenyl (BTESB) can be used as an indicator to determine the chirality of helical silica nanotubes. BTESB can also be utilized as a precursor to prepare: Helical 4, 4′-biphenylene-silica nanotubes and nanoribbons using 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane as a co-structure-directing agent. Biphenyl-bridged alkoxysilane-based crosslinked polyalkoxysilane by condensation with linear aliphatic diols. Biphenylene-bridged silsesquioxane thin films by the sol-gel method.

A silicon-based nucleophile shown to be reactive in Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions.
