In 2022,Zhang, Can; Hu, Jinnuo; Song, Jingya; Wu, Maotong; Zhang, Zhen published an article in ACS Food Science & Technology. The title of the article was 《Development of ic-ELISAs for the Detection of Bisphenol A Diglycidyl Ether and Its Derivatives in Canned Luncheon Meats》.Name: Ethyl 4-bromobutyrate The author mentioned the following in the article:
Canned foods are widely consumed because of their convenience, hygiene, and nutrition. Bisphenol A diglycidyl ether (BADGE), an industrial product of epichlorohydrin and bisphenol A, widely exists in the inner coating of canned foods. A hydrolysis or chlorination reaction of BADGE can occur in the process of storage, forming a variety of derivatives such as bisphenol A (2,3-dihydroxypropyl) glycidyl ether (BADGE·H2O), bisphenol A (3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl) glycidyl ether (BADGE·HCl), and bisphenol A (3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl) (2,3-dihydroxypropyl) glycidyl ether (BADGE·HCl·H2O), which seriously threaten consumer′s health. In this research, two haptens were successfully synthesized, and antibodies were obtained by the s.c. immunization of New Zealand rabbits. Indirect competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ic-ELISAs) were established for the detection of BADGE, BADGE·H2O, BADGE·HCl, and BADGE·HCl·H2O, and the IC15 values (concentrations at an inhibition rate of 15%) were determined as 0.73, 0.39, 0.78, and 1.45 ng/mL, resp. The recovery of BADGE and its derivatives at various spiking levels in canned luncheon meat samples ranged from 76.70 to 98.35%. The results detected by the proposed ic-ELISAs were also validated by HPLC anal., which showed a good agreement (R2 = 0.9861). In the experiment, the researchers used Ethyl 4-bromobutyrate(cas: 2969-81-5Name: Ethyl 4-bromobutyrate)
Ethyl 4-bromobutyrate(cas: 2969-81-5) belongs to bromides. Most organobromine compounds, like most organohalide compounds, are relatively nonpolar. Bromine is more electronegative than carbon (2.9 vs 2.5). Consequently, the carbon in a carbon–bromine bond is electrophilic, i.e. alkyl bromides are alkylating agents.Name: Ethyl 4-bromobutyrate
