Usage

General Description

4,4'-Bis(bromomethyl)-diphenyl ether is a chemical compound consisting of two phenyl rings connected by an oxygen atom, with bromomethyl groups attached to each phenyl ring. It is commonly used as a flame retardant in a variety of plastic and resin products, as well as in electrical and electronic equipment. 4,4'-BIS(BROMOMETHYL)-DIPHENYL ETHER is known for its high thermal stability and ability to inhibit the spread of flames by releasing bromine radicals during combustion. However, concerns have been raised about the potential health and environmental impacts of 4,4'-bis(bromomethyl)-diphenyl ether, leading to some regulatory restrictions on its use in certain regions.

Synthesis of bis-4H-furo[3,4-b]indoles

We describe the synthesis of two novel bis-4H-furo[3,4-b]indoles from indole. Several alternative pathways to these potential DNA bis-intercalator precursors are discussed, and the synthesis of a novel semi-rigid tether is reported.

Rotaxanes from tetralactams

Attempts to incorporate a tetralactam (3a) into a side-chain polyrotaxane by formation of its complex with p-tritylphenolate and reaction with poly(vinybenzyl chloride) failed, probably due to steric hindrance. However, three new small molecule model rota

Strong binding of alkylguanidinium ions by molecular tweezers: An artificial selective arginine receptor molecule with a biomimetic recognition pattern

Bisphosphonates 2 and 3 represent the first artificial receptor molecules for alkylguanidinium ions. They bind to the guanidinium moiety by forming a 1:l chelate complex, stabilized by a planar network of electrostatic interactions and hydrogen bonds. Thi
