(E)-N~5~-(Amino{[(2,2,4,6,7-pentamethyl-2,3-dihydro-1-benzofuran-5-yl)sulfonyl]amino}methylene)-D-ornithine(CAS: 200116-81-0)

The compound is a solid with a crystalline form. It has a molecular weight of approximately 611.68 g/mol. Solubility in water is low, approximately 0.1 g/L at 25°C. Chemically, it is stable under normal conditions but exhibits limited reactivity with strong bases or reducing agents.

The compound is synthesized through a multi-step process involving the condensation of D-ornithine with a sulfonylated benzofuran derivative. Commonly, the synthesis involves the use of a catalytic amount of a strong acid like trifluoroacetic acid, and the process typically yields a 70% to 80% isolated purity.

This compound is used in pharmaceutical applications for its bioactive properties. It is also utilized in the development of sensors and as a precursor in the synthesis of certain semiconducting materials.

When handling this compound, wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) including gloves and safety glasses. Store in a cool, dry place away from strong acids and bases. Use in a fume hood to avoid inhalation. In case of spill, neutralize with a suitable base and dispose of according to local regulations. Refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed handling instructions.
