Chemical Properties
Pale brown to yellowish-brown crystalline powder
Uses
Reagent or Reactant for the synthesis of:
- β-Lactams vis the Staudinger reaction
- N-vinyl substituted indoles via cross coupling of NH-indoles with vinyl bromides
- Multi ring-fused 2-pyridone-based fluorescent scaffold
- ester prodrugs as anti-poxvirus agents
- Trimethine cyanine dyes for sensing G-quadruplex formation
- Phospha-isosteres via Hundsdiecker-Barton iododecacarboxylation
- 2-Azetidinones via [2+2]-cycloaddition
Used for studying organic photosensitizers for application in dye-sensitized solar cells
Uses
(Chloromethylene)dimethylammonium chloride is used in the synthesis of beta-lactams, n-vinyl substituted indoles and fused 2-pyridone rings and 2-azetidinones. It is used as a formylating agent and used in the preparation of anti-poxvirus agents. It is used in Staudinger reaction and Hundsdiecker-barton iododecarboxylation reaction. It is widely used for studying organic photosensitizers, which finds application in dye-sensitized solar cells.
