Applications
Phenyl chlorothionoformate has been used in stereo directed synthesis of optically active, (-)-mintlactone, synthesis of peptide α-thioesters having a variety of C-terminal amino acids, synthesis of scyllo-inositol derivatives, thionocarbonylation of unprotected thymine nucleosides, preparation of phenoxythiocarbonyl esters of protected ribonucleosides. It is also used as a reagent in the thionocarbonylation of unprotected thymine nucleosides. It forms phenoxythiocarbonyl esters of protected ribonucleosides which can be reduced by tributyltin hydride to deoxyribonucleosides.

Solubility
Soluble in water.

Notes
Moisture, Heat Sensitive. Store in cool place. Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. Keep away from oxidizing agents. Stable under recommended storage conditions.
