1-Pyreneacetic acid

1-Pyreneacetic acid is suitable for use in the following studies:

• Synthesis of N-(2-(methylthio)ethyl)-2-(pyren-1-yl)acetamide, a pyrene amide based Pd²⁺ probe.
• Synthesis of pyrene-modified β-cyclodextrin.
• To functionalize single walled carbon nanotube field effect transistors (CNT FETs).
• As an agent for characterizing grafting degrees and reactivity of the ester functionalized polypropylenes.
• Synthesis sawhorse-type diruthenium tetracarbonyl complexes.
• Synthesis of (±)-2-(1-pyrenyl)propionic acid, a chiral carboxylic acid.
• Reversible noncovalent functionalization of single walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs).
• Preparation of peptide nucleic acid (PNA) probes.
• As an internal reference compound in the assessment of solid phase reaction by HPLC-UV.

1-Pyreneacetic acid is a negatively charged pyrene derivative. It has been proposed as titrating reagent for the standardization titration of Grignard reagents and n-butyl lithium (n-BuLi).
