TRICHLOROACETIC ANHYDRIDE Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

colourless liquid

Uses

Trichloroacetic Anhydride is used in organometallic reactions as well as oxadiazole containing 5-lipoxygenase activating protein inhibitors.

General Description

Trichloroacetic anhydride is reported to be an efficient derivatization reagent, since it produces stable derivatives having both a higher mass fragmentation pattern and lesser volatility than derivatives of trifluoroacetic anhydride (TFAA) or heptafluorobutyric anhydride (HFBA). The interaction of thymidine 5′-phosphate with trichloroacetic anhydride in dimethylformamide and acetonitrile in the presence of tertiary amines hs been studied.
