2,2,2-Trichloroethyl chloroformate is used as a protecting reagent for aliphatic and aromatic hydroxyl and amino groups. It is used as derivatizing reagent in gas chromatographic/mass spectrometric determination of a large range of amphetamine-related drugs and ephedrines in plasma, urine and hair samples, during N-demethylation of dextromethorphan. It was used as starting reagent during the synthesis of 6-Nor-9,10-dihydrolysergic acid methyl ester.
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.
Aplicaciones
El cloroformato de 2,2,2-tricloroetilo se utiliza como reactivo protector para grupos aminos e hidroxilos alifáticos y aromáticos. Se utiliza como reactivo de derivatización en la determinación cromatográfica de gases y espectrométrica de masas de una amplia gama de fármacos relacionados con la anfetamina y efedrinas en muestras de plasma, orina y cabello, durante la N-demetilación del dextrometorfano. Se utilizó como reactivo inicial durante la síntesis del éster metil ácido 6-NOR-9,10-dihidrolisérgico.
