Applications & Uses

Uses

It can be used as dye intermediates, pharmaceutical intermediates, organic synthesis reagents, and the foaming agent of the rubber plastics liquid. Isopropyl azodicarboxylate can be used for the liquid foaming agent of vinyl resin. It can be used to make light-colored vinyl foam. It has a uniform pore structure with different formulations and processing conditions giving foam of either closed pore or open pore. It can also be used as pharmaceutical intermediates, and organic synthesis reagents.

Uses

Diisopropyl Azodicarboxylate is an azodicarboxylic acid derivative used as a reagent in the production of many organic compounds. Diisopropyl Azodicarboxylate is commonly used as an oxidizer in Mitsun obu reactions and can also serve as a selective deprotectant of N-benzyl groups in the presence of other protecting groups.

Uses

Diisopropyl azodicarboxylate is used as an important reagent in the production of many organic compounds. It is used in association with triphenyl phosphine in Mitsunobu reaction of alcohols, acids and amides. It acts as reactant in the preparation of chromenes resembling classical cannabinoids, norbornene-based guanidine-rich polymers and acceptor-donor-acceptor organic dyes.

General Description

Reacted with dioxaphosphorinanes and iron catalyst to generate rearranged phosphonium ylide products.
