Description

Butane, 1,4-Bis(Ethenylsulfonyl)- is a specialized organic compound featuring a butane backbone symmetrically substituted with ethenylsulfonyl groups, making it a valuable bis-functional monomer and cross-linking agent. Its core value lies in its ability to introduce reactive vinyl sulfone moieties into polymer systems, enabling the formation of stable covalent bonds under mild conditions. This product is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the polymer, specialty chemical, and life sciences industries seeking to develop advanced materials with tailored properties.

Application

• Polymer Modification & Cross-linking Agent: Used to introduce reactive vinyl sulfone groups into polymer backbones for creating cross-linked networks, hydrogels, and high-performance resins.
• Bioconjugation & Protein Chemistry: Serves as a heterobifunctional linker for coupling biomolecules (e.g., proteins, peptides, antibodies) due to the selective reactivity of the vinyl sulfone group with thiols.
• Advanced Material Synthesis: A key monomer for synthesizing specialty polymers, including sulfone-containing polymers, which exhibit high thermal stability and chemical resistance.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Employed in the research and development of novel drug candidates and drug delivery systems requiring specific, stable covalent linkages.
• Adhesive & Coating Formulations: Incorporated into formulations to enhance adhesion, durability, and chemical resistance through in-situ polymerization or cross-linking.
• Chromatography Media Functionalization: Used to functionalize solid supports (e.g., agarose, silica) for affinity chromatography and immobilization of ligands.
