General description

1-(Bromoacetyl)pyrene (BAP) is a pyrene derivative. It has been synthesized by reacting cupric bromide with 1-acetylpyrene. Studies suggest that the introduction of a bromoacetyl chromophoric moiety to pyrene drastically increases the photoinitiating efficiency of pyrenes.

Application

1-(Bromoacetyl)pyrene is suitable for use in the following studies:
  • As an initiator in the bulk polymerization of 2-ethyl-2-oxazoline to generate pyrene labelled poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline) (PETOX-py).
  • As a fluorophore in the generation of podand-type fluoroionophores with two pyrene moieties.
  • As a fluorescent labeling agent for the determination of okadaic acid toxin by HPLC with fluorescence detection.
It may also be used in the following studies:
  • As a photoremovable protecting group for carboxylic acids and amino acids.
  • As a photoinitiator in the photopolymerization of styrene with methylmethacrylate.
  • As a reactant in the synthesis of potentially tetradentate pyrene appended ligands.
  • As a derivatizing agent of dialkyl phosphates (DAP) in the HPTLC method of quantitative determination of DAP in fruit juices.

Poly(2-oxazolines) with varying alkyl chain lengths (e.g., methyl, ethyl, aryl) and molar masses have been tested for cell cytotoxicity in vitro. A standard 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay was used for the estimation of cell viability. Two monomers, 2-methyl-2-oxazoline and 2-ethyl-2-oxazoline

The rare diarrhetic shellfish toxin, dinophysistoxin-2 (DTX-2), was isolated from the digestive glands of mussels (Mytilus edulis). This was achieved by chromatography on silica and Sephadex LH-20 followed by reversed-phase solid phase extraction and semi-preparative high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with
