| Application: | The 2,2,2-Trichloroethyl (TCE) moiety of 2,2,2-trichloroethanol is mainly used as a protecting group for acids, acetals and also phosphoryl groups of nucleotides. It can be easily cleaved by zinc reduction. Some of its other application include: • Conversion of per-O-acetylated sugars to per-O-acetylated trichloroethyl derivatives. • Preparation of TCE ester of chlorosulfuric acid. • Preparation of 2,2,2-trichloroethyl acetimidate hydrochloride. |
