Homoallylic alcohol building block
The combination of a benzylic hydroxyl and a pendant terminal alkene makes this compound a versatile building block in multi-step organic synthesis. Its bifunctional structure allows selective transformation at either the alcohol or the olefin.
Substrate for olefin chemistry
The terminal alkene is a handle for established reactions such as cross-metathesis, hydroformylation, epoxidation, dihydroxylation and oxidative cleavage, enabling elaboration of the homoallylic side chain in route-scouting work.
Methodology and research reagent
As a defined homoallylic alcohol bearing an ortho-substituted aromatic ring, it serves as a model substrate for catalysis, asymmetric synthesis and reaction-screening studies in academic and industrial laboratories.
Intermediate towards oxygen heterocycles
Homoallylic alcohols of this type are commonly used to access tetrahydrofuran and tetrahydropyran frameworks through cyclisation chemistry. Specific downstream routes should be confirmed by the user for their own application.
