Boc anhydride by Research Lab Fine Chem Industries is a high grade reagent. Also known as Di-tert-butyl dicarbonate, this is the acid anhydride derived from a tert-butoxycarbonyl (Boc) group. The reagent is available as a colourless oil which is insoluble in water. It has a melting point of 22 to 24 C. Boc anhydride from tert-butanol, carbon dioxide, and phosgene, using DABCO as a base. While it is stable under general conditions, this reagent is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents. CAS No.: 24424-99-5 Quantity Provided: 25 ml per bottle Molecular Formula: C10H18O5 Molecular weight: 218.25 Assay: 98 %Boc anhydride has a variety of applications in chemical and biological sectors. This reagent finds applications in the organic synthesis of various derivatives. Boc anhydride is used to synthesize 6-acetyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyridine, which is an important bread aroma compound. It is usually used for the introduction of the BOC protecting group. It furthermore acts a protecting group used in solid phase peptide synthesis. This reagent is suitable for industrial synthesis of products and research applications.
