Benzyl 3-iodoazetidine-1-carboxylate(CAT: L036384) is a synthetic organic compound commonly used as an intermediate in medicinal chemistry and organic synthesis. It features an azetidine ring, which is a four-membered nitrogen-containing ring, substituted with an iodine atom at the 3-position and a benzyl ester-protected carboxylate group at the nitrogen. The iodine atom makes this compound highly reactive and suitable for further functionalization through cross-coupling reactions or nucleophilic substitutions. Benzyl 3-iodoazetidine-1-carboxylate is valuable in the preparation of complex molecules, especially in the development of drug candidates and the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds, where the azetidine ring can impart unique biological properties. Its benzyl ester group also offers protection during multi-step synthesis, allowing for selective deprotection when needed.
