General description

Bis(hexamethylene)triamine is an aliphatic polyamine. It is a spermidine analog and has been reported to lack the enhancing effect on mitochondrial Ca(2+) accumulation but shows inhibitory effect on the Ca(2+) and Pi-induced mitochondrial permeability transition.

Application

Bis(hexamethylene)triamine is the suitable reagent used in the synthesis of xylylated dimer of polyamine and as a solvent to coat amphiphilic polymer on CdSe/ZnS quantum dots (QDs) for enhanced water solubilization.
It may be used in the following studies:
  • Synthesis of bis(hexamethylene) triacetamide (BHTA) by acetylation.
  • As a precursors for the ZnO outgrowths on TiO2 nanofibers.
  • As organic bifunctional guest molecules for {W36} polyoxotungstate host compounds to form 1D chains of directly connected {W36} cluster units.
