(1-Ethoxycarbonylethylidene)triphenylphosphorane is an important raw material and intermediate used in organic synthesis, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals. It’s also a Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons reagent. It can be used for olefination. It can also be utilized for the synthesis of more complex compounds, such as (29S,37S)-isomer of malevamide E, a potent ion-channel inhibitor.
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.
