2,2,2-Trichloroethyl chloroformate, 97%
Chemical Properties
Applications
2,2,2-Trichloroethyl chloroformate is used as a protecting reagent for aliphatic and aromatic hydroxyl and amino groups. It is used as derivatizing reagent in gas chromatographic/mass spectrometric determination of a large range of amphetamine-related drugs and ephedrines in plasma, urine and hair samples, during N-demethylation of dextromethorphan. It was used as starting reagent during the synthesis of 6-Nor-9,10-dihydrolysergic acid methyl ester.
