Product Information

• Name: tert-Butylsulfinamide
• Synonyms: 2-Methyl-2-propanesulfinamide
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: tert-Butylsulfinamide is a model system for the synthesis of enantiopure amines and esters. The synthesis of tert-butylsulfinamide starts with the reaction of an allyl bromide with a sulfinic acid chloride to form an allyl sulfonate, which is then hydrolyzed to produce tert-butylsulfinamide. The yield for this type of reaction is usually low, but tert-butylsulfinamide can be isolated in good yields if it is prepared in a stereoselective manner. Tert-butylsulfinamide has been shown to inhibit the growth of human hair follicles in cell culture experiments, which may be due to its ability to inhibit the formation of hydrogen peroxide by inhibiting an enzyme called tyrosine hydroxylase.
