Description

1-Chloroethyl chloroformate acts as a reagent in the selective N-dealkylation of tertiary amines. It is also used as a reactant in the preparation of alkyl 1-chloroethyl carbonates. Further, it is used for N-demethylation reaction in the determination of multiple drugs of abuse in biological fluids using capillary electrophoresis with native fluorescence and laser-induced fluorescence detection. It plays an important role as a catalyst for the chemoselective desilylation of silyl-protected alcohols. In addition to this, it is used to cleave benzhydryl groups from amines.

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.
