General description

4,5-Dichlorophthalimide (5,6-dichloro-1H-isoindole-1,3(2H)-dione) is a phthalimide derivative. It has been synthesized from 5,6-dichloro-1,3-isobenzofurandione and characterized by 1H ,13C-NMR and IR. The dipole moment, polarizability and first-order hyperpolarizability of 4,5-dichlorophthalimide have been investigated using ab initio and density functional theory calculations.

application

4,5-Dichlorophthalimide (5,6-dichloro-1H-isoindole-1,3(2H)-dione) is suitable as a reactant in the synthesis of 5′-N-(4′′,5′′-dichlorophthaloyl)-3′-azido-2′,3′-dideoxythymidine and 2-amino-4,5-dichlorobenzoic acid.
It may be used in the following studies:
  • As a reactant in the synthesis of 4,5-dichloro-1,2-benzenedicarboxamide.
  • As an additive in the Ir-BICP catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of 2,3,3-trimethylindolenine to improve enantioselectivity.
  • As a reactant in the synthesis of octachloro-Cu-phthalocyanine.
  • As a reagent in the synthesis of 7-tert-butylthianthrene-2,3-dicarboxylic imide.
  • As a starting material in the synthesis of N-(3-bromopropyl)-4,5-dichlorophthalimide.
  • As a nucleophilic partner in the phosphine-catalyzed allylic substitution of Morita-Baylis-Hillman acetates to form N-protected β-amino phosphonic acid esters.

A variety of substituted 5'-N-phthaloyl-3'-azido-2',3'-dideoxythymidine derivatives has been evaluated for their activity against HIV-1, HIV-2 and Moloney murine sarcoma virus (MSV) in cell culture. Most of the 3'-azido-2',3'-dideoxythymidine (AZT, zidovudine) derivatives showed antiviral activity in the lower micromolar concentration range

A series of N-protected beta-amino phosphonic acid esters have been prepared by phosphine-catalyzed allylic substitution of 2-(diethylphosphonyl)-substituted allylic acetates employing 4,5-dichlorophthalimide as nucleophilic partner. These organocatalytic allylic substitutions exhibit exceptionally high levels of regiospecificity by virtue of a tandem S(N)2'-S(N)2'
