Tetraethyl butane-1,4-diylbis(phosphonate)
This product is a symmetric bis-phosphonate ester with a short C4 butane backbone. The tetraethyl ester groups enhance stability and allow controlled hydrolysis, while the bis-phosphonate framework provides strong affinity for metals and surfaces, making it useful as an intermediate in coordination chemistry, surface modification, and materials research.
Key Features and Benefits:
-
Bis-Phosphonate Structure: High affinity for binding metal ions and inorganic surfaces.
-
Tetraethyl Ester Protection: Improves stability and allows selective deprotection.
-
Short Butane Spacer: Provides compact spacing compared to longer alkyl analogs.
-
High Purity: Reliable for reproducible chemical and materials synthesis.
-
Versatile Utility: Applicable in organic, inorganic, and biomaterial chemistry.
Applications:
-
Coordination Chemistry: Precursor for ligands and metal complexes.
-
Surface Functionalization: Anchors to metal oxides, nanoparticles, and materials.
-
Biomaterials: Potential for bone-targeting and mineral-binding after hydrolysis.
-
Polymer Science: Acts as a crosslinker or structural spacer in advanced materials.
Storage and Handling:
-
Storage: Store at –20 °C in a sealed, dry container.
-
Handling: Protect from moisture to prevent ester hydrolysis.
This product offers a compact, ester-protected bis-phosphonate scaffold, making it an especially valuable intermediate for synthetic, coordination, and materials applications.
