ethyl 1,4-dibenzyl-1,4-diazepane-2-carboxylate CAS:847556-35-8

As a versatile building block, this compound facilitates efficient drug synthesis and polymer fabrication. N-alkylation at the diazepane ring produces analogs for biological evaluation and structure-activity relationship studies. Meanwhile, ester hydrolysis furnishes access to diverse substituted diazepane carboxylic acids. These transformations allow generating focused compound libraries applicable to various therapeutic areas in a systematic manner. The versatile functionality also enables direct assembly of agrochemical prototypes. Additionally, the ethyl ester renders this suitable as a monomer for producing specialty co-polymers with tailored properties. Varying substituents provides a means to fine-tune polymer characteristics like hydrophobicity, stability and glass transition temperature based on application. Its multi-site reactivity further enables surface functionalization, offering opportunities in materials science. Therefore, owing to the multiple reactive handles, this synthon supports versatile and efficient synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals as well as advanced functional materials. The benzyl protecting groups also facilitate eventual deliverability of final products.
