General description

Bis(pentafluorophenyl) carbonate is the equivalent of carbonyl compound generally used in coupling reactions. It is used as a reagent in the preparation of azapeptides.

Application

Bis(pentafluorophenyl) carbonate can be used in the preparation of:
  • A cyclic carbonate named 6,6′-(ethane-1,2-diyl)bis(1,3,6-dioxazocan-2-one), which is a key intermediate for the synthesis of non-isocyanate polyurethanes.
  • A coumarin based aliphatic polycarbonate named 5-(4-methylumbelliferyloxycarbonyl)-5-methyl-1,3-dioxan-2-one (MUC).
