Phenyl chloroformate, 99%
Description
Phenyl chloroformate is used in the synthesis of poly(2-(phenoxycarbonyloxy)ethyl methacrylate) and phenyl-(4-vinylphenyl) carbonate. It acts as a precursor of phenyl mixed anhydrides which are used in peptide coupling reactions. It serves as a dehydrating reagent for the conversion of primary amides to nitriles and an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and carbamates.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand.
