What are uses of given organic compounds- benzil, 2,4,6-tribromoaniline,toluene-… acid?
Benzil- 1.This diketone is used as an intermediate in organic synthesis. 2. Benzil is also employed as a photoinitiator for free-radical curing of polymer networks. Ultraviolet radiation decomposes benzil, creating free-radical species which propagate throughout polymer material, creating cross-links between individual polymer chains. 3. Recently benzil has been identified as a selective inhibitor of carboxylesterase enzymes, proteins involved in the metabolism of esterified drugs and xenobiotics. 2,4,6-TRIBROMOANILINE- 2,4,6-TRIBROMOANILINE is used for pharmaceutical intermediates, chemical flame retardants etc More Uses- http://chemicalland21.com/specialtychem/… p-Toluenesulfonic acid Toluenesulfonic acid finds use in organic synthesis as an “organic-soluble” acid catalyst. Examples of uses: Acetalization of an aldehyde. Esterification of carboxylic acids.
