1-(2-Hydroxy-5-methylphenyl)-3-phenyl-1,3-propanedione
1-(2-Hydroxy-5-methylphenyl)-3-phenyl-1,3-propanedione (CAS 29976-82-7) is an aromatic 1,3-diketone building block with the formula HOC6H3(CH3)COCH2COC6H5 (C16H14O3) and a molar mass of 254.28 g/mol. Supplied as a solid of about 97% assay melting at 92-94 °C, this ortho-hydroxyaryl beta-diketone is used chiefly in organic synthesis, where it serves as a versatile intermediate and as a precursor to chromone and flavone-type heterocycles. Tech Serve Solutions supplies it worldwide for research and manufacturing.

Synthetic building block
Serves as a reactive 1,3-diketone intermediate in multi-step organic synthesis. The active methylene flanked by two carbonyls enables condensation, alkylation and ring-forming reactions.
Precursor to chromone and flavone scaffolds
As an ortho-hydroxyaryl beta-diketone, it is well documented as a precursor for cyclisation to 2-substituted chromen-4-one (chromone/flavone) heterocycles. This makes it useful in the preparation of oxygen-containing ring systems.
Ligand and chelation chemistry
Beta-diketones of this type are established bidentate ligands that coordinate metal ions through their enolised dicarbonyl system. The compound can therefore be applied in coordination and complexation studies.
Reference and research material
Supplied with defined identity (CAS 29976-82-7, MDL MFCD00209591) and an assay of about 97%, it is suitable as a characterised reagent for laboratory research and method development.
