Applications
Trichloromethyl chloroformate is used as a reagent in the synthesis of organic compounds. It serves as a source of phosgene used in some laboratory preparations. Also, it is used as a reactant for the synthesis of cyclic carbamimidates, N-alkenyl and cycloalkyl carbamates and prostate-specific membrane antigen-targeted anticancer prodrugs. In addition, it is involved in the preparation of an erythromycin A derivatives and antibody-drug conjugates. It is utilized in the conversion of amines, carboxylic acids, formamides in to isocyanates, acid chlorides and isocyanides respectively.
