Description

Di-tert-butyl iminodiacetate is a fluorescent tracer that is used in fluorescence microscopy. It reacts with chloride ions to form a stable complex. This reaction can be monitored using magnetic resonance spectroscopy, which provides information about the location of the chloride ion and the number of chloride ions present in a sample. The presence of anhydrous sodium or hydroxyl groups can also be determined using this technique. Di-tert-butyl iminodiacetate has been used as a chelating agent for metal ions in biological systems and in synthetic pathways to produce molecules with luminescent probes or conjugates. The molecule itself emits light when it absorbs energy from ultraviolet radiation, which can be used to monitor reactions that involve metal ions.
