General description

1-Chloro-4-iodobutane is a halogenated hydrocarbon. It is an α,ω-dihaloalkane and undergoes electrogenerated Nickel(I) salen (N,N′-bis(salicylidene)ethylenediamine) catalyzed reduction to afford 1,8-dichlorooctane. Electrochemical reduction of 1-chloro-4-iodobutane at glassy carbon cathode has been investigated by cyclic voltammetry and controlled-potential electrolysis.

Application

1-Chloro-4-iodobutane may be used in the following studies:
  • Preparation of 6-hendecenoic acid.
  • Catalytic asymmetric synthesis of levobupivacaine.
  • Synthesis of alkaloids such as deoxyvasicinone, mackinazolinone.

Alkyl, aryl, heteroaryl and acyl radicals have been cyclised onto the 2-position of 3H-quinazolin-4-one. The side chains containing the radical precursors were attached to the nitrogen atom in the 3-position. The cyclisations take place by aromatic homolytic substitution hence retain

Our previous study indicated that carborane containing small-molecule 1-(hydroxymethyl)-7-(4'-(trans-3″-(3'″-pyridyl)acrylamido)butyl)-1,7-dicarbadodecaborane (hm-MC4-PPEA), was a potent inhibitor of nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (Nampt). Nampt has been shown to be upregulated in most cancers and is a promising target for the treatment of many different types
