Dangerous Goods Info This compound is forbidden to ship by air under IATA regulations.

Di-2-thienylmethanone is a pyrazole with an activation energy of about 10.5 kcal/mol. It has been found to be toxic and can cause cell lysis. This molecule has been used in the synthesis of a number of drugs, including thiopental, a barbiturate that is used as an anaesthetic. Di-2-thienylmethanone is also the precursor for the synthesis of fluoroquinolones, which are potent antibacterial agents. The Friedel-Crafts reaction is one way this molecule is synthesized, and it involves the addition of an alkyl halide to an unsaturated double bond. This reaction is named after Charles Friedel and James Crafts who first discovered it in 1877.

Daunorubicin metabolite

2-Mercaptobenzimidazole is a chemical compound that can be used for the treatment of infectious diseases. It has been shown to have antioxidative properties and inhibit the growth of bacteria. 2-Mercaptobenzimidazole also has an effect on human serum, which may be due to its ability to bind with proteins in serum and form hydrogen bonds. 2-Mercaptobenzimidazole is stable at high temperatures and has been shown as an effective antimicrobial agent against gram positive and gram negative bacteria.
