(Methoxycarbonylmethyl)triphenylphosphonium bromide is a reactant for the synthesis of GSK-3 inhibitors using the Wittig reaction, substituted furanones for antifungal and cytostatic activities, photochromic dithienylethene derivatives, gem-diiodoalkanes containing allylic alcohols and highly substituted cyclopentenes and brazilanes via Au-catalyzed deoxygenative Nazarov cyclization. As reactant for asymmetric hydrogenation of α,β-unsaturated ester-phosphonates, studies of thermal decomposition of phosphonium alkyl ester salts.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
