Triphosgene-13C3
Triphosgene-13C3 (CAS: 1173019-90-3), with the formula Cl3<sup>13</sup>CO<sup>13</sup>COO<sup>13</sup>CCl3 and a molecular weight of 299.73 g/mol, is a stable isotope-labelled phosgene derivative. This compound serves as a valuable reagent in organic synthesis, particularly in reactions requiring precise isotopic tracing. It is primarily employed in research and development settings for the synthesis of complex molecules and as a building block in chemical transformations where isotopic labelling is essential for mechanistic studies.

Isotope Labelling in Organic Synthesis
Triphosgene-13C3 is used to introduce specific carbon-13 isotopes into organic molecules. This is crucial for spectroscopic analysis (e.g., NMR) and reaction mechanism studies in pharmaceutical and chemical research.
Synthesis of Labelled Intermediates
It acts as a precursor for synthesising isotopically enriched intermediates and final products. This allows researchers to track the fate of specific atoms during complex chemical processes.
Reagent in Phosgenation Reactions
As a safer alternative to phosgene gas, it can be employed in phosgenation reactions for the formation of carbonates, chloroformates, and isocyanates, with the added benefit of isotopic labelling.
