Application

1-Bromo-2-ethylbutane was used in the preparation of dialkoxytriarylamine. It was also used as cysteine-modifying reagent.
Reactant involved in the synthesis of biologically active molecules including:
  • Nantenine analogs with aporphinoid 5-HT2A and α-1A antagonistic activity
  • Aporphines with cytotoxicity toward human colon cancer cell lines
  • Dimeric amide foldamers acting as alpha-helix mimetics
  • Endocrine-disrupting nanylphenol isomers synthesized via demethylation
  • Phosphonic acid-containing benzimidazoles for use as fructose-1,6-biphosphatase inhibitors
  • 5-Bromo-1H-indole-3-acetohydroxamic acid for use as peptide deformylase inhibitors
