Application

Ethyl acetate has been used to compose the eluent mixture for the flash silica gel chromatographic purification of the following compounds:
  • 3-(pyridin-2-yldisulfanyl)propan-1-ol
  • 16-((3-((2-cyanobenzo[d]thiazol-6-yloxy)carbonyloxy)propyl)disulfanyl)hexadecanoic acid
  • (S)-2-(6-((3-((15-carboxypentadecyl)disulfanyl)propoxy)carbonyloxy)benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)-4,5-dihydrothiazole-4-carboxylic acid
  • (S)-2-(6-((3-((15-carboxypentadecyl)disulfanyl)propoxy)carbonyloxy)-benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)-4,5-dihydrothiazole-4-carboxylic acid
  • methyl 16-((3-((2-cyanobenzo[d]thiazol-6-yloxy)carbonyloxy)propyl)disulfanyl)hexadecanoate
It may be used as solvent for the synthesis of γ-benzyl-L-glutamic acid N-carboxy anhydride (BLG-NCA).
