Pentadecanedioic acid, 8-isocyano-2,2,14,14-tetramethyl-8-[(4-methylphenyl)sulfonyl]-, 1,15-diethyl ester

It acts as a protected precursor, often synthesized via tosylmethyl isocyanide condensation, which is subsequently hydrolyzed and reduced to form the final 8-hydroxy-2,2,14,14-tetramethylpentadecanedioic acid structure. Pentadecanedioic acid, 8-isocyano-2,2,14,14-tetramethyl-8-[(4-methylphenyl)sulfonyl]-, 1,15-diethyl ester is a key intermediate in the synthesis of bempedoic acid.
