General description

Conformational stability and vibrational IR and Raman spectra of trichloroacetyl isocyanate has been investigated[1]. Trichloroacetyl isocyanate is commonly employed as in situ derivatizing reagent for the 13C NMR studies of alcohols, phenols and amines[2]. It undergoes 1,5-cycloaddition reaction with anhydro-2-deoxy-D-erythro- and -L-threo-pent-1-enitols and 1,5-anhydro-2-deoxy-D- and -L-arabino-hex-1-enitols to yield [2+2] and [4+2] cycloadducts[3].

Application

Trichloroacetyl isocyanate was used in catalytic one-pot dehydrative glycosylation of 1-hydroxy carbohydrate[4]. It was also used as a reagent for the conversion of alcohols to carbamates†.

Efficient catalytic and stereoselective glycosylation was achieved by activating a glycosyl N-trichloroacetylcarbamate with a catalytic amount of Lewis acid in the presence of a glycosyl acceptor and 5A molecular sieves. Catalytic one-pot dehydrative glycosylation of a 1-hydroxy carbohydrate was achieved
