Organic synthesis building block
Serves as an intermediate in multi-step organic synthesis, where its aryl alkyl ketone framework provides a versatile handle for further functionalisation. The carbonyl group supports reductions, condensations and nucleophilic additions.
Carbonyl chemistry and derivatisation
As a defined aryl ketone, it is used to prepare alcohols, oximes, enolates and related derivatives. The flanking 3,5-dimethoxy substitution pattern is a common motif in fine-chemical and exploratory medicinal-chemistry routes.
Research and method development
Supplied at 96% assay for laboratory research, structure-activity studies and analytical method development. Its documented physical constants assist identity confirmation and reaction monitoring.
Reference and characterisation material
The defined refractive index (n20/D 1.5190) and density (1.017 g/mL at 25 °C) make it useful as a characterised reagent for comparative and characterisation work in synthetic chemistry.
