Uses
3-Thiopheneethanol [3-(2-hydroxyethyl)thiophene] was used in the synthesis of various ether and ester derivatives such as 3-(2-(benzyloxy)ethyl)thiophene, 3-[2-((triphenylmethyl)oxy)ethyl]thiophene, 3-[2-((trimethylsilyl)oxy)ethyl]thiophene, 3-[2-((dimethyl-tert-butylsilyl)oxy)ethyl]thiophene, 3-(2-acetoxyethyl)thiophene and 3-(2-(benzoyloxy)ethyl)thiophene.
Uses
3-Thiopheneethanol is used as a reagent in the synthesis of pH-responsive near-IR emitting conjugated polymer nanoparticles for cellular imaging and controlled-drug delivery. 3-Thiopheneethanol is also used as a reagent in the preparation of potent respiratory syncytial virus RNA polymerase inhibitors.
