Product Description
Trichloroacetonitrile, also known as Trichloromethyl cyanide (CAS: 545-06-2), is a building block employed in a synthesis of trichloroacetimidates by DBU catalyzed addition of allylic alcohols and the subsequent study of the MOM catalyzed aza-Claisen rearrangement. Also used to prepare bistrichloroacetimidates from diols leading to dihyrooxazines via acid catalyzed cyclization.
Trichloroacetonitrile is involved as a reagent in Overman rearrangement, which is used to prepare alylic amines from allylic alcohols. Further, it is utilized in the synthesis of trichloroacetimidates by 1,8-Diazobicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) catalyzed addition of allylic alcohols. It finds application in the study of the methoxy methyl (MOM) catalyzed aza-Claisen rearrangement.
