It is a reagent of choice for assignment of absolute configuration of chiral primary amines by 1H NMR, giving better results than Mosher's acid ((R)-(+)-Methoxy-(trifluoromethyl)phenylacetic acid. αR)-α-[[(1,1-Dimethylethoxy)carbonyl]amino]-benzeneacetic Acid is D-(+)-2-Phenylglycine with Boc protecting group. (αR)-α-[[(1,1-Dimethylethoxy)carbonyl]amino]-benzeneacetic Acid is used as part of a catalyst combination to catalyze regioselective [4 + 2] cycloadditions of β-substituted cyclic enones and polyconjugated malononitriles. It can also be used to catalyze stereoselective preparation of polyfunctional nitrocyclohexene carboxaldehydes.
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.
