Application


  • One-pot synthesis of 2-acylaminobenzimidazoles: A study on the synthesis of 2-acylaminobenzimidazoles via a reaction between trichloroacetyl isocyanate and 1,2-phenylenediamine derivatives (Shajari et al., 2018).

  • Cabamothioate compounds: Research on the synthesis of S-aryl (trichloroacetyl) carbamothioate from a reaction of 2-naphthalenethiol or thiophenol derivatives and trichloroacetyl isocyanate (Shajari et al., 2021).

  • Chiral calyx[4]arenes: Diastereoselective synthesis of inherently chiral calyx[4]arenes via reaction of trichloroacetyl isocyanate with 1,3-dihydroxy calixarene (Boyko et al., 2016).

General description

Trichloroacetyl isocyanate (TAI) is a versatile building block in organic synthesis. It is also used as an in situ derivatizing reagent for the characterization of phenols, alcohols, and amines.

Other Notes

Derivatizing reagent for the structural assignment to hydroxy compounds by NMR; Used in negative ion chemical ionization mass spectrometry
