Description

Imidodicarbonic Acid, Mono(1,1-Dimethylethyl) Ester (9Ci) is a specialized organic compound, a tert-butyl carbamate derivative, serving as a crucial building block and protecting group reagent in advanced organic synthesis. Its primary value lies in enabling the controlled synthesis of complex molecules, particularly peptides and pharmaceuticals, by temporarily shielding reactive amine functionalities. This high-purity intermediate is essential for research and development chemists and process engineers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and fine chemical industries who require reliable, high-quality reagents for scalable synthetic routes. CAS No. 57880-24-7.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key building block in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly for introducing the tert-butoxycarbonyl (Boc) protecting group.
• Peptide Synthesis: Used as a Boc-protecting agent for amino acids during solid-phase and solution-phase peptide synthesis, preventing unwanted side reactions.
• Agrochemical Manufacturing: Intermediate in the production of certain herbicides, fungicides, and other crop protection agents requiring protected amine chemistry.
• Fine Chemical Production: Serves as a versatile reagent for the custom synthesis of complex organic molecules in contract research and manufacturing organizations (CROs/CMOs).
• Academic & Industrial R&D: Employed in research laboratories for method development and the exploration of new synthetic pathways for nitrogen-containing compounds.
• Polymer Chemistry: Potential monomer or modifying agent for creating specialized polyamides or polymers with tailored functional groups.
