4-FORMYL-1-METHYL-PYRIDINIUM BENZENESULFONATE

Uses

N-Methylpyridinium-4-carboxaldehyde benzenesulfonate hydrate is a useful reagent for the chemical transformation of primary amines to aldehydes and ketones under extremely mild conditions.

General Description

4-Formyl-1-methylpyridinium benzenesulfonate is a pyridinium salt widely used for the conversion of primary amines to the carbonyl compounds like aldehydes and ketones. The reaction conditions are mild, suitable for compounds with sensitive functional groups thereby providing an efficient alternative for such transformations.
