| Application: | Pentafluorophenol can be used as a reactant to synthesize pentafluorophenyl esters from: • N-protected amino acid in the presence of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide and ethyl acetate. • t-Butoxycarbonyl-L-alanylglycinein the presence of 1-ethyl-(3-dimethylaminop • Aliphatic dicarboxylic acids in the presence of pyridine, diisopropylcarbodiimide, and acetonitrile. It can also be used as a reactant to synthesize pentafluorophenyl formate which can be used as a formylating agent in organic synthesis. |
| General description: | Pentafluorophenol is widely used as a precursor in both solution and solid-phase peptide synthesis. It is also involved in the preparation of aromatic fluoro derivatives. |
