4-Methyl-1-pentyne, is used as a polymer matrix together with synthesized NH2-MIL 53 metal organic framework (MOF) as a filler were used to fabricate a mixed matrix membrane (MMM). It is also used in addition reactions which are typical in alkyne reactions such as halogenation, hydrogenation, hydrohalogenation, hydration, oxidative cleavage, nitrile formation and acidity of terminal alkynes. Polymerisation and substitution reactions are also useful in chemical synthesis.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
