General description

The diphenyl derivatives, having potency for inhibiting InhA (an essential enoyl acyl carrier protein reductase involved in mycolic acid biosynthesis), were studied.

Application

Diphenyl ether can be used as:
  • An additive in the fabrication of thienothiophene-co-benzodithiophene polymer-based organic photovoltaics and isoindigo polymer-based organic solar cells.
  • A model compound to study the hydrodeoxygenation of ether linkages in the lignin fragments using various catalytic systems.
  • A solvent in the synthesis of FePd nanoparticles using modified polyol process.
