General description

1-Bromobutane, an organobromine compound, is a commonly used industrial solvent for cleaning, extraction and chemical synthesis.

Application

1-Bromobutane may be used as a derivatization reagent for multiple functional groups (amino, carboxyl, and phenolic hydroxyl groups) of amino acids to improve hydrophobicities and basicities of the amino acids. It may also be used as an internal standard for the quantification of 1- and 2-bromopropane in human urine by headspace gas chromatography.

Mixtures of the monohydroxy alcohol n-butanol with n-bromobutane are investigated via dielectric and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques. Static- and pulsed-field gradient proton NMR yielded self-diffusion coefficients as a function of concentration and temperature. To monitor reorientational motions, broadband dielectric

Recently, a method based on intermolecular multiple quantum coherences (iMQCs) has been proposed to obtain high-resolution 2D COSY spectra in inhomogeneous fields via 3D acquisitions. However, the very long acquisition time prevents its practical application. To overcome this shortage, the

A haloalkane dehalogenase (DppA) from Plesiocystis pacifica SIR-1 was identified by sequence comparison in the NCBI database, cloned, functionally expressed in Escherichia coli, purified, and biochemically characterized. The three-dimensional (3D) structure was determined by X-ray crystallography and has been refined
