4-[[(1,1-dimethylethoxy)carbonyl]methylamino]-3-oxoButanoic acid ethyl ester

Uses

Ethyl 4-((tert-Butoxycarbonyl)(methyl)amino)-3-oxobutanoate is an intermediate for the synthesis of 1-Methyl-4-imidazoleacetic Acid Hydrochloride (M323800), which is a metabolite of histamine (H436500), which is produced by mast cells and involved with the inflammatory response. 1-Methyl-4-imidazoleacetic Acid Hydrochloride can also be used to synthesize N-[1-(9,10-methano-9-anthracenylmethyl)-4-piperidinyl]alkanamides and analogs as dopamine D2 receptor antagonists.
