2,2,2-Trichloroethoxycarbonyl chloride

Trichloroethyl chloroformate is used in organic synthesis for the introduction of the trichloroethyl chloroformate (Troc) protecting group for amines, thiols and alcohols. It readily cleaves vs other carbamates and can be used in an overall protecting group strategy.

The troc group is traditionally removed via Zn insertion in the presence of acetic acid, resulting in elimination and decarboxylation.

Amine protection – 2,2,2-Trichloroethoxycarbonyl (Troc)

Troc protecting group on an amine

2,2,2-Trichloroethoxycarbonyl (Troc) group is largely used as a protecting group for amines in organic synthesis.

Most common amine protection methods

  • Deprotection using zinc metal


gollark: I mean, my networking thing is effectively a port of rednet, and thus really inefficient and bad, which is probably why it uses so much power?
gollark: Probably, but then I would have had to hook everything to skynet/SPUDNET or something.
gollark: Yes, I'm aware.
gollark: I also had a server rack with a bunch of devices with linked cards (and wireless ones) relaying packets to remote locations, and under heavy load *that* apparently sometimes just crashes despite being connected to a several-kRF/t power supply.
gollark: OC's power requirements can also be annoying sometimes, because apparently my long-range communication relay cubes need something like 300RF/t in RTG capacity to avoid shutting down under heavy load.
