The bifunctional reagent 1,4-dibromobutanedione (DBBD) reacts covalently with pyruvate kinase from rabbit muscle to cause inactivation of the enzyme at a rate that is linearly dependent on the reagent concentration, giving a second order rate constant of 444 min-1 M-1.

Reaction of a pinene-based pyridylthioamide with 1,4-dibromo-2,3-butanedione in refluxing methanol yielded a new chiral pyridylthiazole ligand L which forms a dinuclear double-stranded helicate with Cu(i) ions; this helicate has opposite helical chirality when compared with its quaterpyridine analogue.
