Cis-tert-butyl-2-carbamoylcyclopentylcarbamate; CAS No.: 494209-36-8; Cis-tert-butyl-2-carbamoylcyclopentylcarbamate. PROPERTIES: This carbamate-protected cyclopentyl derivative has molecular formula C12H21N3O3. It generally appears as a white crystalline powder. The Cis-tert-butyl-2-carbamoylcyclopentylcarbamate demonstrates limited water solubility but good solubility in polar aprotic solvents like DMSO and DMF. Its melting point ranges between 100-105 C, and it has a molecular weight of approximately 255.31 g/mol. When handling, care should be taken to avoid skin contact and use of proper respiratory protection. Storage should be in a tightly sealed container at room temperature, protected from light and moisture. The compound is sensitive to strong acids and may undergo carbamate hydrolysis upon exposure to aqueous conditions. In case of spillage, absorb with inert material and dispose of in accordance with local regulations. APPLICATIONS: The Cis-tert-butyl-2-carbamoylcyclopentylcarbamate serves as a synthetic intermediate in the production of muscle relaxants where the carbamate group provides essential hydrogen bonding interactions with receptor subtypes (as reported in medicinal chemistry literature). The cyclopentyl ring enhances metabolic stability by preventing oxidative degradation. Additionally, the compound functions as a building block in the preparation of chiral ligands for asymmetric catalysis, achieving enantiomeric excesses above 95% in certain hydrogenation reactions as described in synthetic chemistry journals. The carbamate group can be further functionalized through hydrolysis or alkylation reactions to produce various derivatives for chemical research applications.
