General description

1,4-Dibromobutane reaction with atactic poly(2-vinylpyridine) leads to the formation of long-range 3D molecular ordering in polymer chains.

Application

1,4-Dibromobutane was used to investigate the metabolism of two halopropanes: 1,3-dichloropropane and 2,2-dichloropropane. It was used as reagent during the synthesis of diazadioxa oxovanadium(IV) macrocyclic complexes.

In phene-50% NaOH medium, 1,4-dibromobutane reacts with carbazole (CZ) to form N-bromobutylcarbaole (BCZ) at 70-80 degrees C. The 2-thenoyl-2-carbazolyl-N-butyltrifluoroacetone (TCBTA) was synthesized by reaction of BCZ with 2-thenoyltrifluoroacetone (TTA) in acetone-K2CO3 medium at 50 degrees C. The TCBTA is a

Two stable sulfur-containing metabolites were isolated from rat urine following administration of the mutagenic 1,4-dibromobutane. They were identified as tetrahydrothiophene and 3-hydroxysulfolane by gas chromatography and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and were found to be excreted in 48-hr urine, representing 5.8
