1-(Bromoacetyl)pyrene, 1 X 5 g (394408-5G)

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. 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.
