1,4-二溴丁烷与无规立构聚(2-乙烯吡啶)反应，形成在聚合物链中排列的远程3D分子。1,4-二溴丁烷被用于研究两种卤代丙烷的代谢：1,3-二氯丙烷和2,2-二氯丙烷。它被用作合成二氮杂二氧杂钒（IV）大环配合物的试剂。 Solubility in water: immiscible Solubility in other solvents: soluble in all usual organic solvents and alcohols soluble in chloroform 1,4-Dibromo butane was used to investigate the metabolism of two halopropanes: 1,3-dichloropropane and 2,2-dichloropropane. It was used as reagent during the synthesis of diazadioxa oxovanadium(IV) macrocyclic complexes.
