Diphenylmethanimine is a biochemical reagent useful in life science related research. It serves as a biological material or organic compound, applicable in the preparation of nitrogen ylide dimers, and as an ammonia surrogate, also functioning as an intermediate for organic chemical synthesis.
- Useful in the preparation of nitrogen ylide dimers.
- Functions as a benzophenone imine as ammonia surrogate.
- An intermediate material for the synthesis of organic chemicals.
- Catalytic enantioselective alkylation of the benzophenone imine of glycine t-butyl ester using phosphazene (Schwesinger) bases and chiral quaternary ammonium salts yields either enantiomer of amino acid derivatives in excellent yield.
