Specifications | MSDS | Literature and Reviews


Diethyl 4,4'-(Ethyne-1,2-diyl)dibenzoate (DEEDB) has a triple bond that connects two diethyl 4-benzoates at 1,1'-positions.

Isoquinoline derivatives as potential antifungal agents can be synthesised by reacting diethyl 4,4'-(ethyne-1,2-diyl)dibenzoate with di(phenylmethylene)hydrazine in the presence of Cu(OAc)2·H2O as catalyst and AgSbF6 as additive.

GUF-1, an interpenetrated MIL-53 topology Sc-MOF based on 4,4'-(ethyne-1,2-diyl)dibenzoate linker ligand shows excellent volumetric hydrogen storage and working capacity of 41 g/L in a temperature-pressure swing system.
