Methyl dichloroacetate, 99%, Thermo Scientific Chemicals

Description

Methyl dichloroacetate may be used in the diastereoselctive synthesis of bicyclic chlorocyclopropane, as difunctional initiator during atom transfer radical polymerization of methyl or n-butyl acrylate, as reagent during CrCl2-induced olefination of aldehydes. It is a reactant involved in nucleophilic substitution reactions with nitro(pentafluorosulfanyl)benzenes, azide-alkyl halide cycloaddition and atom transfer radical addition, Chemical modification of STn antigen for enhancement of synthetic carbohydrate vaccines, three component reaction of arynes with cyclic ethers and active methines, catalytic radical haloalkylation for synthesis of neodysidenin and addition reactions for syntehsis of enantiopure 3,4-diamino esters or amides.

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.
