Benzyloxyacetyl chloride is a reagent used to construct substituted 2-azetidinones for further elaboration into annulated β-lactams. It is a commonly employed reagent for asymmetric synthesis of β-lactams. It is also used in preparation of (S)-3-(methylamino)-3-((R)-pyrrolidin-3-yl)propanenitrile, key intermediate in the preparation of fluoroquinolone antibiotic for respiratory tract infections, non-racemic helicene and β-lactams.
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.
