Cream solid
Uses
4-Nitrophenyl chloroformate can be used:
- As a reagent for the activation of amines, alcohols and thiols.
- In the synthesis of 4-substituted phenyl derivatives of 1,2,4-triazolidindiones (urazoles).
- In the solid-phase synthesis of 3-aryl-2,4-quinazolinedione derivatives with potent anti-cancer property.
- In the preparation of poly(oxyethylene) modified dextrans.
- To synthesize a cleavable, heterobifunctional cross-linker for reversible conjugation of amines to thiol-modified DNA.
Uses
4-Nitrophenyl chloroformate is used in the synthesis of poly(oxyethylene) modified dextrans. It is also used to prepare a cleavable, heterobifunctional cross-linker for reversible conjugation of amines to thiol-modified DNA. Further, it is used in the synthesis of mixed, activated carbonates, thiocarbonates and activated urethanes. In addition to this, it is used in the preparation of 4-nitrophenyl diazoacetate with diazomethane. It is an ester of chloroformic acid used in the immobilization of enzymes and other biomolecules.
Application
4-Nitrophenyl chloroformate is used as:A coupling agent to link the drug molecule with the polyrotaxane carrier molecule.As
an activated ester reagent that enables the covalent coupling of a
peptide onto a macromer, such as oligo(poly(ethylene glycol) fumarate)
(OPF).
Description
4-Nitrophenyl chloroformate, also known as p-nitrophenyl chloroformate,
is a coupling agent used in the synthesis of ureas, carbamates, and
carbonates. It is also used as a building block in solid-phase peptide
synthesis (SPPS) to obtain altered side chain functionalities in
peptides.
