Chemical Properties
white to light brown granular powder
Uses
Reactant for:
- Preparation of a ratiometric fluorescent probe for specific detection of cysteine over homocysteine and glutathione
- Microwave-assisted synthesis of KN-93 as inhibitor of calmodulin kinase II
- Preparation of fluorinated spirobenzofuran piperidines as s1 receptor ligands
- Synthesis and antitumor agents
- Regio-selective preparation of indole derivatives via rhodium-catalyzed domino hydroformylation/indolization
Uses
(1,3-Dioxolan-2-ylmethyl)triphenylphosphonium Bromide is used as a reactant in the synthesis of ketolides methyloxoerythromycins with antibacterial activity as highly potent against macrolide-resistant and susceptible respiratory pathogens.
Purification Methods
Wash the crystals with Et2O, dry them in a vacuum and recrystallise them from CH2Cl2/dry Et2O to give prisms m 172-174o, which is raised to 191.5-193o on drying at 56o/0.5mm. [Cresp et al. J Chem Soc, Perkin Trans 1 37 1974.]
