(S)-(2-Iodo-1-methyl-ethyl)-carbamic acid benzyl ester

(S)-(2-Iodo-1-methyl-ethyl)-carbamic acid benzyl ester, also known as benzyl N-[(2S)-1-iodopropan-2-yl]carbamate, is an organoiodine compound featuring a carbamate protecting group and a chiral center. With a molecular formula of C11H14INO2 and a molecular weight of 319.14, this compound serves as a versatile building block in the synthesis of complex organic molecules. Its iodine functionality allows for various coupling reactions and transformations, while the benzyl carbamate group provides amine protection that can be selectively removed. It is particularly valuable in stereoselective synthesis due to its defined (S) configuration, making it useful in the preparation of chiral intermediates for pharmaceutical and fine chemical research.
