Application

Phenylhydrazine can be used as a reactant in the synthesis of:
  • 4, 4′-(arylmethylene)-bis(3-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-5-ol)s by reacting with aryl aldehydes and acetoacetates in presence of N-bromo sulfonamide as a catalyst via one-pot pseudo-five-component condensation.
  • Thiazolidinones by treating with mercaptoacetic acid and aldehydes or ketones.
  • 5-[3,3,3-trifluoro-2-(phenylhydrazono)propyl]-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylic acid by reacting with 6-(trifluoromethyl)comanic acid.

It can be also used as a precursor for the preparation of selective carboxymethylated products at N-1 and N-2 by reacting with dimethyl carbonate (DMC) in the presence of a Bronsted base and metal salts as a catalyst.

Glycan Labeling

Structural modifications of proteins are essential to living cells. When aberrantly regulated they are often the basis of disease. Glycans are responsible for much of the structural variation in biologic systems, and their representation on cell surfaces is commonly called the “glycome.”

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
