General description

Allyl chloroformate is an organic compound used to synthesize numerous compounds like allyl carbamates and allyl carbonates. Additionally, it can be used for the preparation of α-allyl carbonyls and α, β-unsaturated carbonyls.

Application

Allyl chloroformate is used in the synthesis of:
  • Histones and their analogs.
  • Alloc-TL monomer (N-(allyloxy)carbonylhomocysteine thiolactone) from cyclic thioester (d,l-homocysteine thiolactonehydrochloride).
