The reactivity of microsolvated fluoride ions, F (CH3OH)0–2, with methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, and t-butyl bromide is evaluated over a broad range of temperatures. Significant decreases in reactivity are observed as either solvation or temperature increases. Increasing solvation increases sensitivity to the reaction barrier as revealed by a larger temperature dependence. These reactions are dominat...

The production of lung adenomas in strain A mice following multiple injections of 17 alkyl halides and of 3 base analogs was investigated. A slight but significant increase in the average number of lung tumors per mouse was noted following the administration of methyl iodide, n and i-propyl iodide, secand tert-butyl chloride, i-, sec-, and tert-butyl bromide, and nand sec-butyl iodide. The admi...

The title salt, C(4)H(10)Br(2)N(+)·Br(-), crystallizes with four cations and four anions in the asymmetric unit. In the crystal, the bis-(2-bromo-eth-yl)ammonium cations and bromide anions are linked into chains by N-H⋯Br hydrogen bonds describing a binary C(2) (1)(4) motif along [010]. Each of these chains is formed by a unique cation and anion pair. The ammonium cations occur in the less pref...

Background and objective: Hyoscine N-butyl bromide acts by inhibiting cholinergic transmission in pelvic parasympathetic ganglia and antagonizing muscarinic receptors of smooth muscles in the abdomen and pelvic organs, thus relieving spasm aiding to cervical dilation. This study is to assess the efficacy of Hyoscine butyl bromide on cervical dilation in multigravid pregnant women during the act...

N-isopropyltheobromine and N-sec-butyltheobromine were synthesized via nucleophilic substitution reaction by reacting theobromine and two kind of alkyl bromide derivatives, i.e. isopropyl bromide and sec-butyl bromide using N, Ndimethylformamide (DMF) as a solvent. Yields (N-isopropyltheobromine = 7.70%; N-sec-butyltheobromine = 5.89%) were slightly less than the previous synthesis which used e...

Collisions between neutral K atoms and oriented t-butyl bromide molecules produce the ions K and Br at energies high enough to separate charged particles ~*4 eV!. Ions are detected by coincidence tof mass spectrometry for orientation of the t-butyl bromide such that the K atom attacks either the Br end or the t-butyl end of the molecule. At high energies the steric asymmetry factor is larger th...

The reaction between trimethylamine with propargyl bromide was studied and the structure of triethyl propargyl ammonium bromide was illustrated by 1HNMR, IR, and Mass spectra.

Quaternary ammonium and phosphonium salts have been screened for their toxic effect on HeLa and K562 cancer cell lines, as well as on normal HUVEC cells. Tri-n-butyl-n-hexadecylphosphonium bromide, the first phosphonium salt with a halogen anion tested against HeLa cells, was 12 times more potent (IC50 <5 μm after 24 and 48 h) than the clinically used reference compound cisplatin and 17 times m...
