Versatile small molecule scaffold

Bis(2-dimethylaminoethyl) Ether is a growth factor that is used to grow cells in culture. It has been shown to stimulate the proliferation of cells by stimulating the release of amines, water vapor and ft-ir spectroscopy from the cell. The molecule also has a cavity that can be filled with hydrochloric acid and sodium carbonate, which generates hydrogen gas as a result of an exothermic reaction. This molecule is also able to form hydrogen bonding interactions with other molecules, such as ethylene diamine.

2-Bromo-3,3,3-trifluoro-1-propene is a chemical compound that has been synthesized in an asymmetric reaction. The reactant is bromopropane and the product is 2,2,2-trifluoropropene. The methylene group on the propene molecule is activated by the nucleophilic attack of a fluoride ion from hydrogen fluoride to form a cavity with a highly strained bond. The kinetic study of this reaction revealed that the activation energy for the reaction is 42 kJ/mol. Palladium-catalyzed coupling reactions are catalyzed by palladium and require nonpolar solvents such as toluene or dichloromethane. This type of reaction has been shown to be exothermic with an isolated yield of 1%.
