Ethyl formimidate hydrochloride

Ethyl Formimidate Hydrochloride, is a building block used in various chemical synthesis. It can be used in the preparation of s-triazines, 2,3:5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-α- and -β-5-amino-4-ethoxycarbonyl or -carbamoyl-imidazole D-mannofuranosides. It can also be used as an reactant in the synthesis Bredinin via amination of an acyclic precursor, and Amidine conjugates of the ornithine moiety of an antifungal having therapeutic properties.

Reactant involved in the synthesis of biologically active molecules including:

• Bredinin via amination of an acyclic precursor
• Amidine conjugates of the ornithine moiety of an antifungal

Reactant involved in:

• Intermolecular cyclization
• Mo-catalyzed asymmetric ring-closing metathesis for synthesis of cyclid amides and amines
• Synthesis of peptidic 1-cyanopyrrolidines

Ethyl formimidate hydrochloride is a nitrogen containing organic building block. On heating it undergoes degradation to afford formamidine hydrochloride, ethyl formate and ethyl chloride.
