Product Information

• Name: 1,1'-Di-n-octyl-4,4'-bipyridinium Dibromide
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 1,1'-Di-n-octyl-4,4'-bipyridinium Dibromide is a bifunctional organometallic compound. It is used as a catalyst in the reduction of nitro groups or other electron-deficient centers and in the transfer process with azides. This chemical has shown selectivity for aliphatic substrates over aromatic ones. The catalytic activity of 1,1'-Di-n-octyl-4,4'-bipyridinium Dibromide can be enhanced by replacing the hydrogen atom on the nitrogen atom with an alkene group. 1,1'-Di-n-octyl-4,4'-bipyridinium Dibromide is also a radical cation that can be reduced by electron donors to form radicals.
