CAS 3426-71-9: Benzyl N-hydroxycarbamate

N-Benzyloxycarbonylhydroxylamine is a synthetic amino acid that is used in the synthesis of hydroxamic acids. It is prepared by the reaction of benzyl groups with sodium periodate and then irradiation with UV light. The resulting triazolopyrimidine can be oxidized to form an N-benzyloxycarbonylhydroxylamine. This product has been shown to be a potent inhibitor of bacterial enzymes, such as β-aminoacylase, which are involved in the synthesis of peptides and proteins. Hydroxamic acids have also been shown to have cationic surfactant properties and are used in synthesizing organocatalysts for organic reactions.

Benzyl n-hydroxycarbamate

N-(Benzyloxycarbonyl)hydroxylamine reacts with cyclohepta-1,3-diene to produce 6-oxa-7-aza-bicyclo[3.2.2]non-8-ene-7-carboxylic acid benzyl ester.
