General description

Diethyl ether is a versatile organic solvent used in the fields of diesel engines, agriculture, food, chemical, biological, pharmaceutical, and medical industries.

Application

Diethyl ether can be used as a solvent in the:
  • Ring-opening polymerization of ε-caprolactone to synthesize polycaprolactone.
  • Rh-catalyzed C-H allylation of amides with allyl halides to synthesize allylated amides.
  • Photochemical α-bromination of aromatic and aliphatic carbonyl compounds with N-bromosuccinimide to synthesize α-brominated ketones.

A dynamic covalent library of interconverting imine constituents, dissolved in an acetonitrile/water mixture, undergoes constitutional reorganization upon phase separation induced by a physical stimulus (heat) or a chemical effector (inorganic salt, carbohydrate, organic solvent). The process has been made reversible

Although metallocofactors are ubiquitous in enzyme catalysis, how metal binding specificity arises remains poorly understood, especially in the case of metals with similar primary ligand preferences such as manganese and iron. The biochemical selection of manganese over iron presents a
