Uses
MOP is a phenolic organic compound which can be used as intermediate of synthetic materials.
Description
2,4,6-Triformylphloroglucinol (MOP)is a highly functionalised and symmetrical building block.
Physical properties
Pale orange solid
Uses
2,4,6-Triformylphloroglucinol is a chemical reagent used in gelation landscape engineering with a hydrogelator system to control products. This prevents the formation of hydrogel materials with vastly different properties. In addition, it is used in the preparation of luminescent nanoporous hybrid material to be used as a drug delivery system for anti-cancer agents.
Definition
2,4,6-Triformylphloroglucinol is a highly functionalised and symmetrical building block. 2,4,6-Triformylphloroglucinol contains 3 aldehyde groups which can react with nucleophiles, such as amines or anilines, to make β-ketoenamines. When the nucleophile contains more than one amine group, microporous polymers can be formed. These microporous polymers find a wide range of applications, including carbon dioxide capture.
