Description

Application

2-Morpholinoethyl isocyanide can be used for the synthesis of:

• Nitrogen acyclic carbene (NAC) complexes to be used as catalysts for the synthesis of phenol and hydration of alkynes.
• Variety of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines and α-acylaminoamides by Ugi condensation reaction.
• 2-Aminobenzoxazoles and 3-aminobenzoxazines having important therapeutic activities.

It can also be used as a ligand in bis-cyclometalated iridium complexes for the organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs).

Other Notes

Potent coupling reagent for peptide synthesis giving higher yields and less racemization than DCCI; Reagent used in a Passerini-like reaction to alpha-hydroxy amides
