CLEAR YELLOW LIQUID

The Uses of Phenyl chlorothionocarbonate

Phenyl Chlorothionoformate is used in the preparation of an bicyclic thymidine analogs as selective inhibitors of Thymidine monophosphate kinase Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TMPKmt).

The Uses of Phenyl chlorothionocarbonate

O-Phenyl chlorothionoformate has been used in:

• stereodirected synthesis of optically active, (?)-mintlactone
• synthesis of peptide α-thioesters having a variety of C-terminal amino acids
• synthesis of scyllo-inositol derivatives
• thionocarbonylation of unprotected thymine nucleosides
• preparation of phenoxythiocarbonyl esters of protected ribonucleosides

What are the applications of Application

O-Phenyl chlorothionoformate is a reagent used in the thionocarbonylation of unprotected thymine nucleosides

Purification Methods

Purify it by dissolving in CHCl3, washing with H2O, drying (CaCl2), filtering, evaporating and distilling twice under a vacuum to give a clear yellow liquid. It is reactive and POISONOUS—work in a fume cupboard. Store it in sealed ampoules under N2. A possible impurity is O,O'-diphenyl thiocarbonate which has m 106o and remains behind in the distilling flask. [B.gemann et al. in Methoden Der Organischen Chemie (Houben-Weyl) 4th edn (E.
