Application

Some of the applications of 3-butynoic acid are:
  • Synthesis of functionalized γ-butyrolactones and tetrahydrofurans via Conia-ene cyclizations.
  • Synthesis of allenoates for [2+2] cycloadditions with alkenes.
  • Phosphine-catalyzed synthesis of highly functionalized coumarins.
  • Synthesis of various useful organotin reagents via radical hydrostannation of 3-butynoic acid.

The aim of this study was to overcome the reported shortcomings of the glutathione (GSH) detection of rhodamine-based fluorescent probes, such as poor selectivity to thiol groups and reversible unstable covalent binding with the thiol groups. Here, we have developed
Ionogels, new materials arising from the confinement of ionic liquids within silica-derived networks.
