General description

α,α′-Dibromo-m-xylene can cross-link and cyclize peptides containing two cysteine residues.

Application

α,α′-Dibromo-m-xylene has been used in preparation of four novel dinuclear half-titanocenes with meta- and orthoxylene bridges as new metallocenes. It was used in the synthesis of dissymmetrical bis-macrocyclic salt.
