The Uses of 2,6-Dichlorobenzoyl chloride
2,6-Dichlorobenzoyl chloride acts as an important intermediate in organic synthesis, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and dyestuffs. It is employed in the substrate activity screening method for the rapid development of novel substrates and their conversion into non-peptidic inhibitors of Cys and Ser proteases. It is also used in the preparation of 1-acyliridoles and (-)-aspicilin. In addition to this, it undergoes esterification of (fluoren-9-ylmethoxy)carbonyl (Fmoc)-amino acids to 4-alkoxybenzyl alcohol polystyrene.
The Uses of 2,6-Dichlorobenzoyl chloride
2,6-Dichlorobenzoyl chloride was used:
- in substrate activity screening method for the rapid development of novel substrates and their conversion into non-peptidic inhibitors of Cys and Ser proteases
- in the synthesis of 1-acyliridoles
- in enantiocontrolled total synthesis of (-)-aspicilin
General Description
2,6-Dichlorobenzoyl chloride participates in esterification of (fluoren-9-ylmethoxy)carbonyl (Fmoc)-amino acids to 4-alkoxybenzyl alcohol polystyrene.
Purification Methods
Reflux the acid chloride for 2hours with excess of acetyl chloride (3 volumes), distil off AcCl followed by the benzoyl chloride. Store it away from moisture. It is an IRRITANT.[Beilstein 9 III 1377.]
