Trichloroacetyl isocyanate is used as an in-situ derivatizing reagent for characterization of alcohols, glycols, phenols, and amines by nuclear magnetic resonance. It is also used in anion chemical ionization mass spectrometry and in catalytic one-pot dehydrative glycosylation of 1-hydroxy carbohydrate. Further, it serves as a reagent for the conversion of alcohols into carbamates.
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.
