Application

Ethyl formimidate hydrochloride may be used in the preparation of the following:
  • 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxylic acid α- and β-ribotides
  • s-triazines
  • 2,3:5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-α- and -β-5-amino-4-ethoxycarbonyl or -carbamoyl-imidazole D-mannofuranosides
  • 5-amino-1-(2-pyridyl)imidazole
Reactant involved in the synthesis of biologically active molecules including:
  • Bredinin via amination of an acyclic precursor
  • Amidine conjugates of the ornithine moiety of an antifungal

Reactant involved in:
  • Intermolecular cyclization
  • Mo-catalyzed asymmetric ring-closing metathesis for synthesis of cyclid amides and amines
  • Synthesis of peptidic 1-cyanopyrrolidines

General description

Ethyl formimidate hydrochloride is a nitrogen containing organic building block. On heating it undergoes degradation to afford formamidine hydrochloride, ethyl formate and ethyl chloride.
