Application

  • Butyl chloroformate was used in the synthesis of dextran alkyl carbonates.
  • It was also used in the synthesis of S-tert-alkyl-N,N-alkoxycarbonylmethyl-dithiocarbamate, radical polymerization with reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer agent.
  • It was used as derivatization reagent in determination of linsidomine in plasma using high-performance liquid chromatographic separation with tandem mass spectrometric detection.

A sensitive method for the determination of linsidomine in plasma was developed, using high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) separation with tandem mass spectrometric detection. Linsidomine was derivatised with propyl chloroformate and extracted with tert-butyl methyl ether/1,2-dichloroethane (55:45, v/v), back-extracted into HCl
