Usage

General Description

1,2,5,6-Tetrabromohexane, also known as TBH, is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C6H10Br4. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a strong odor and is insoluble in water. TBH is primarily used as a flame retardant additive in various industrial and consumer products such as electronics, plastics, and textiles. It works by reducing the flammability of materials and slowing down the spread of fires. However, TBH is also known to be toxic to aquatic life and may have potential adverse effects on human health, including skin and eye irritation, and respiratory issues. Studies have shown that exposure to TBH may also have negative impacts on liver and thyroid function. As a result, there is growing concern about the environmental and health risks associated with the use of 1,2,5,6-Tetrabromohexane.

An electron-catalyzed cope cyclization. The structure of the 2,5-dicyano-1,5-hexadiene radical anion in the gas phase

The radical anion of 2,5-dicyano-1,5-hexadiene is shown to undergo Cope cyclization in a flowing afterglow-triple quadrupole apparatus. The cyclic structure of the 2,5-dicyano-1,5-hexadiene radical anion was established by using chemical reactivity. The i

En route to stable all-carbon-substituted silylenes: Synthesis and reactivity of a bis(α-spirocyclopropyl)silylene

The synthesis of a bis(α-spirocyclopropyl)silylene is reported and its reactivity revealed. Liberation of the silylene was accomplished by UV-light-mediated photolysis of a trisilane precursor. Insertion and addition reactions prove the existence and versatility of this new family of bis(α-spirocyclopropyl)-substituted silylenes. Substitution on the flanking cyclopropyls for improved steric shielding of the reactive center remains challenging.

Enantioselective total synthesis of (+)-testudinariol A using a new nickel-catalyzed allenyl aldehyde cyclization

An enantioselective total synthesis of (+)-testudinariol A was completed. A new nickel-catalyzed allenyl aldehyde cyclization was developed in the approach. In addition, an asymmetric anti aldol reaction and a two-directional oxocarbenium ion/vinyl silane condensation were employed as key steps. Copyright
