Diethyl acetylenedicarboxylate is used as a protein cross-linker. It is also used in the synthesis of 3,4,5-trisubstituted 2(5H)-furanone derivatives, highly functionalized thiazolidinone derivatives, novel cyclic peroxide glucosides and 4,11-dimesitylbisanthene, soluble bisanthene derivative, via Diels-Alder reaction.
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.
