Uses
Bis(2,2,2-trichloroethyl) azodicarboxylate has been used:
- in the asymmetric synthesis of substituted cycloalkyl[b]indoles
- as amination reagent during the aza-ene reaction of different alkenes to yield the corresponding allyl amines
- in para-directed amination of C2-alkyl substituted anisole
- in the synthesis of acid- and base-sensitive azo compounds and in Diels-Alder cycloadditions
General Description
Thermal inverse-type hetero-Diels-Alder reaction of
O-silyl-protected lactal and
bis(2,2,2-trichloroethyl) azodicarboxylate has been reported.
storage
Bis(2,2,2-trichloroethyl) azodicarboxylate is same as with all azo compounds, caution should be exercised to avoid
exposure of the material to heat. Store in a brown bottle.
