Application

Used in the preparation of formamidine derivatives, which are synthetic intermediates.

It may be used in methylation of heterocyclic compounds which contains SH, NH, OH groups such as benzimidazole, naphth[2,3-c]imidazole, imidazo[4,5-c]-pyridine, purine, pyridine, pyrimidine, pyridazine and s-triazolo[4,3-b]pyridazine. It was used as derivatizing agent in a study to determine cocaine and benzoyl ecgonine in urine using GC with on-column alkylation.

Suitable for the derivatization of primary sulfonamides and trifluoroacetic acid.

Used to catalyze the coupling of epoxides with carbon dioxide under solvent free conditions leading to cyclic carbonates.
