Application

Reactant for preparation of:• Immunostimulants a-Galactosylceramides• Cellotriose and cellotetraose analogues as transition state mimics for mechanistic studies of cellulases• Bisubstrate inhibitors with molecular recognition at the active site of catechol-O-methyltransferase• Derivatives of F200 and S383 with cannabinoid CB1 receptor binding activities• Aza-ß-lactams via NHC-catalyzed [2 + 2] cycloaddition with ketenesReagent for:• Annulation of N-protected imines• a-thiocyanation of enolizable ketones with ammonium thiocyanate• Diels-Alder reactions

Diethyl azodicarboxylate (DEAD) is a reagent used in the Mitsunobu reaction.DEAD can also be used as a reagent in the: • Synthesis of esters, ethers, amines, and thioethers of alcohols.• Oxidation of alcohols to carbonyl derivatives using ZnBr₂ as a catalyst via dehydrogenation reaction.• Conversion of alcohol to an azide key intermediate in the total synthesis of immunostimulant a-galactosylceramides.• Synthesis of aza-ß-lactams from aryl(alkyl)ketenes.• Synthesis of 1H-1,2,4-triazole-1,4(5H)-dicarboxylate derivatives.• Diels-Alder type reactions.
