(Chloromethylene)dimethyliminium chloride Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

Pale brown to yellowish-brown crystalline powder

Uses

(Chloromethylene)dimethylammonium chloride is used in the synthesis of beta-lactams, n-vinyl substituted indoles and fused 2-pyridone rings and 2-azetidinones. It is used as a formylating agent and used in the preparation of anti-poxvirus agents. It is used in Staudinger reaction and Hundsdiecker-barton iododecarboxylation reaction. It is widely used for studying organic photosensitizers, which finds application in dye-sensitized solar cells.

Uses

Reagent or Reactant for the synthesis of:

• β-Lactams vis the Staudinger reaction
• N-vinyl substituted indoles via cross coupling of NH-indoles with vinyl bromides
• Multi ring-fused 2-pyridone-based fluorescent scaffold
• ester prodrugs as anti-poxvirus agents
• Trimethine cyanine dyes for sensing G-quadruplex formation
• Phospha-isosteres via Hundsdiecker-Barton iododecacarboxylation
• 2-Azetidinones via [2+2]-cycloaddition
