General description

BIBB is an important reagent in the synthesis of amides, macrocyclic amides, ketenes, and alkynic ketones.

Application

α-Bromoisobutyryl bromide has been used:
  • as atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) initiator for functionalization of hydroxyl groups present on the surface of graphene oxide
  • to form an N-protected halodienamide which provided four- and five-membered lactams in the presence of copper (I) and a tertiary amine
  • in preparation of polycaprolactone macroinitiator via reaction with oligomeric caprolactone diol and mesoporous silica nanoparticles with ATRP initiator anchored on the exterior surface

Cationic polymers are one of the major nonviral gene delivery vectors investigated in the past decade. In this study, we synthesized several cationic copolymers using atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) for gene delivery vectors: pluronic F127-poly(dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate) (PF127-pDMAEMA), pluronic F127-poly

Poly(2-naphthyl acrylate) was first grafted onto silica-coated magnetic nanoparticles by surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization to prepare a reversed-phase magnetic adsorbent. The resulting polymer brush displays enhanced extraction efficiency by offering active sites on the surfaces of adsorbent. It was

Many bioanalytical methods rely on electrophoretic separation of structurally labile and surface active biomolecules such as proteins and peptides. Often poor separation efficiency is due to surface adsorption processes leading to protein denaturation and surface fouling in the separation channel.

A method for growing polymers directly from the surface of graphene oxide is demonstrated. The technique involves the covalent attachment of an initiator followed by the polymerization of styrene, methyl methacrylate, or butyl acrylate using atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP).

Reaction of 2-substituted dienamides with catalytic amounts of copper halide/tripyridylamine (TPA) furnishes either 5-exo or 6-endo products with the outcome dependent upon the radical initiating unit. Reaction of 3-substituted dienamides produces beta-lactams via a 4-exo cyclization with termination of the

Copper(I)-mediated Living Radical Polymerization in the Presence of Pyridylmethanimine Ligands

We presents an article about Copper(I)-mediated Living Radical Polymerization in the Presence of Pyridylmethanimine Ligands, and the emergence of living radical polymerization mediated by transition metal catalysts in 1995, which was a seminal piece of work in the field of synthetic polymer chemistry.
