Application

Dimethylcarbamyl chloride can be used to synthesize:
  • Disubstituted carbamates from benzylphenols.
  • 2-Cyanoisonicotinamide by reacting with isonicotinic acid N-oxide and zinc cyanide. This method was adopted to synthesize a novel xanthine oxidoreductase inhibitor.
  • Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and serotonin transporter (SERT) dual inhibitors.
