Merck, 392189-1G, 1-Pyreneacetic acid

General description
1-Pyreneacetic acid is a negatively charged pyrene derivative. It has been proposed as titrating reagent for the standardization titration of Grignard reagents and n-butyl lithium (n-BuLi).
Application
1-Pyreneacetic acid is suitable for use in the following studies:
Synthesis of N-(2-(methylthio)ethyl)-2-(pyren-1-yl)acetamide, a pyrene amide based Pd²⁺ probe.
Synthesis of pyrene-modified β-cyclodextrin.
To functionalize single walled carbon nanotube field effect transistors (CNT FETs).
As an agent for characterizing grafting degrees and reactivity of the ester functionalized polypropylenes.
Synthesis sawhorse-type diruthenium tetracarbonyl complexes.
Synthesis of (±)-2-(1-pyrenyl)propionic acid, a chiral carboxylic acid.
Reversible noncovalent functionalization of single walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs).
Preparation of peptide nucleic acid (PNA) probes.
As an internal reference compound in the assessment of solid phase reaction by HPLC-UV.
