Building block for organic synthesis
Serves as a multifunctional intermediate in the preparation of more complex molecules, valued for its combination of a reactive secondary alcohol and a terminal olefin on a chlorinated aromatic scaffold.
Homoallylic alcohol chemistry
As a homoallylic alcohol, it is a useful substrate for transformations such as oxidation, etherification, esterification and ring-forming reactions that exploit the hydroxyl and alkene groups together.
Alkene functionalisation
The pendant terminal vinyl group is amenable to hydrogenation, epoxidation, dihydroxylation, hydroboration, cross-metathesis and related additions, making the molecule a flexible handle for further elaboration.
Research and method development
Used in academic and industrial laboratories as a defined, characterised reagent for synthetic methodology, screening and structure-activity studies.
