Acetamino-TEMPO is a versatile radical source. It finds use in oxidation reactions as a robust catalyst for both chemical and electrochemical pathways. It is also favored by producers of specialty vinyl monomers as an antipolymerant.
Typical Applications
- Production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and specialty monomers
Benefits at a glance
- Easy to handle stable radical
- Catalyzes the oxidation of alcohols to carbonyls in the presence of mild chemical oxidants such as hypochlorite and peroxide, offering a greener alternative to classical oxidation methods
- In the production of vinyl monomers it stops unwanted polymerization, and can be easily separated from the monomer by distillation, unlike other common inhibitors
