2-cyano-5-oxo-5 -(2-thiazolidin-3-yl) pent-2-propyl carbon trithioester is a RAFT reagent for controlled radical polymerization and can be used for the polymerization of monomers.
This compound is a specialized organic intermediate used in the synthesis of heterocyclic pharmaceuticals. Its core structure features a thioxothiazolidinone moiety linked to a cyano-pentan-2-yl chain via a propyl carbonotrithioate group. The molecular formula is C10H12N2O3S3. Precise CAS registration requires verification against current chemical databases due to its complex nomenclature.
Strictly handle under inert atmosphere to prevent hydrolysis. Store in cool, dry conditions away from oxidizers. Personnel must utilize appropriate PPE including respirators and chemical-resistant gloves due to potential toxicity and irritant properties.
