General description

2,2′-(Ethylenedioxy)diethanethiol (EDT) is a dithiol based cross-linker that can be used for thiolene photopolymerization and to obtain crosslinked polymeric films.
3,6-dioxa-1,8-octanedithiol is non volatile in nature.

Application

3,6-dioxa-1,8-octanedithiol (DODT) was used for cleaving peptides in the study to develop synthetic peptide serology to treat chronic chagas disease. DODT may be used to develop non-malodorous scavenger in Fmoc-based peptide synthesis.
EDT can be crosslinked with unsaturated olive oil to form a photoinduced eco-friendly film through renewable sources. It can be used in the synthesis of bioanode for the fabrication of a biofuel cell (BFC) for glucose sensing application. It may also be used for other applications such as improving the optical properties of gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) and the development of bio-mediated synthetic polyester.
