Ethyl Azidoacetate Usage And Synthesis

Uses

Ethyl Azidoacetate is an important organic substance that can undergo cyclisation reactions and is commonly used in the field of chemical synthesis.The condensation of 1-methyl-β-carboline-3-carbaldehyde with ethyl azidoacetate can be used to prepare 2-formylxanthine derivatives^[1].
