AKT855 - TITANIUM DIISOPROPOXIDE (BIS-2,4-PENTANEDIONATE), 75% in isopropanol

11-Mercaptoundecanoic acid (11MUA) is a fluorescence probe that reacts with the amide group of proteins. It has been used to study HIV-1 infection and the early stages of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) replication. 11MUA can be detected by fluorescence spectrometry and gives a strong, selective signal in human serum. This compound is also used as a model system for studying protease activity and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. 11MUA is stable in solution and can be detected at very low levels, making it an excellent probe for protein degradation studies. The reaction solution containing 11MUA can be prepared using trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), which facilitates the formation of esters from carboxylic acids, or by adding TFA to an acyl chloride derivative of 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid.

Intermediate in organic syntheses; stereoselective synthesis

12-Bromo-1-aminododecane, hydrobromide is a reagent that can be used as a building block in organic synthesis. It is also useful for the preparation of 12-bromo-1-aminododecane, hydrochloride, which has been shown to be an effective reaction component and reagent in both organic and organometallic synthesis. This compound has a CAS number of 14502-45-5 and can be purchased as a fine chemical or speciality chemical.
