1,4-Dibromobutane Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

Clear, colorless liquid

Uses

1,4-Dibromo butane was used to investigate the metabolism of two halopropanes: 1,3-dichloropropane and 2,2-dichloropropane. It was used as reagent during the synthesis of diazadioxa oxovanadium(IV) macrocyclic complexes.

Uses

1,4-Dibromobutane is used as an intermediate involved in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredient and other organic compounds. It is also used in the investigation of metabolism of two halopropanes such as 1,3-dichloropropane and 2,2-dichloropropane. Further, it acts as a reagent to prepare diazadioxa oxovanadium(IV) macrocyclic complexes.
