Description
It is used in the generation of 1,2-di(lithiomethyl)benzene. It is found to accept electrons from Li metal to give a radical anion which is highly effective in the conversion of alkyl halides to alkyllithiums. 4,4?-Di-tert-butylbiphenyl is used in production of homoallylic amine derivatives. It is also used in the preparation of lithium di-tert-butylbiphenylide, a radical anion, superior to sodium or lithium naphthalenides for metalation reactions. Along with lithium, 4,4?-Di-tert-butylbiphenyl catalyzes; reaction of chloromethyl ethyl ether and different carbonyl compounds to yield corresponding hydroxyethers and reductive opening of N-phenylazetidine.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
