2-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-5,7-dichloro-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline-6-carboxylic acid
Basic Information
product Description
2-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-5,7-dichloro-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline-6-carboxylic acid is an important tetrahydroisoquinoline derivative containing a tert-butoxycarbonyl (Boc) protecting group. It is a key organic intermediate for drug synthesis, especially suitable for the molecular construction of chlorine-containing heterocyclic drugs. It has a CAS registry number of 851784-82-2, a molecular formula of C₁₅H₁₉Cl₂NO₄, and a molecular weight of 348.22. Typically appearing as a white to off-white crystalline powder, it has good stability. Its molecule contains a tetrahydroisoquinoline skeleton, dichloro substituents, a carboxyl group and a Boc protecting group, adapting to diverse subsequent synthetic reactions and serving as an important building block in fine chemicals and pharmaceutical R&D.

Its key physicochemical properties are as follows: it is soluble in polar organic solvents such as methanol, ethanol, dichloromethane and ethyl acetate, slightly soluble in water, and insoluble in non-polar solvents like petroleum ether and n-hexane. The melting point ranges from 178–182℃, the product purity is generally ≥98% (determined by HPLC), and the water content is ≤0.5%. The Boc protecting group in the molecule can realize selective protection and deprotection of the amino group, facilitating subsequent functional group modification; the 5,7-dichloro substituents can regulate the electron cloud density and lipophilicity of the molecule, the carboxyl group can undergo condensation, amidation and other reactions, and the tetrahydroisoquinoline skeleton provides core structural support for bioactive molecules.
In terms of safety and storage, this compound is slightly irritating to the skin, respiratory tract and eyes. Protective gloves, goggles and masks should be worn during operation to avoid direct contact and inhalation; if contact occurs accidentally, rinse the affected area with plenty of water immediately. It should be sealed in a light-proof container and stored in a cool (2–8℃), dry and well-ventilated place, away from strong oxidants and strong bases (to avoid carboxyl decarboxylation and Boc protecting group detachment), and avoid high temperature and humid environments to prevent oxidation, degradation and other reactions, ensuring storage stability.
