tert-Butyl 2,2,2-trichloroacetimidate is used to produce di-tert-butyl peroxide at temperature of -5°C. It may be used in the synthesis of N-α-Fmoc-phospho(1-nitrophenylethyl-2-cyanoethyl)-L-serine, caged building block. It may be used in the conversion of alcohols and carboxylic acids to their respective ethers and esters.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
