4-Nitrobenzenesulfonyl chloride, 97%
Description
4-Nitrobenzenesulfonyl chloride is used as an intermediate for the synthesis of pharmaceuticals like foscmprenavir, darunavir and amprenavir. It is involved in the preparation of N-nosyl-alpha-amino acid for peptide synthesis. It is also used for stereoselective α-glucosylation of partially protected carbohydrates in association with silver tri-fluoromethanesulfonate, N,N-dimethylacetamide and triethylamine. It is widely used for the synthesis of hydroxylamines of sulfadiazine, sulfamethoxazole and [Cu(bipy)2Cl](nbs) (1) (bipy = 2,2'-bipyridine, nbs = 4-nitrobenzenesulfonate).
