Tetrabenzyl pyrophosphate is used in the preparation of phosphoryl derivatives of shikimic acid in the presence of LDA. It is used in the preparation of dibenzyl phosphoro fluoridate in the presence of cesium fluoride as a catalyst. It is also used as a precursor in pharmaceuticals and involved in the phosphorylation of inositol derivatives.
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.
