General description

4-Methoxybenzyl isocyanate (PMBNCO), also known as p-methoxybenzyl isocyanate, is an organic building block containing an isocyanate group. Its enthalpy of vaporization at boiling point has been reported.

Application

4-Methoxybenzyl isocyanate (p-Methoxybenzyl isocyanate) may be used in the synthesis of 1-(4-methoxybenzyl)-3-{2-[(4-nitrophenyl)amino]ethyl}urea and 1-(4-methoxybenzyl)-3-{2-[(5-nitropyridin-2-yl)amino]ethyl} urea.
It may be used in the multi-step synthesis of:
  • diimidazodiazepine containing 5:7:5-fused heterocycle
  • 2-deoxy-2-ureido-D-ribo-hexulofuranosonamide
  • bicyclic guanidine core of batzelladine A
