1-(5-Chloro-2-hydroxyphenyl)-1,3-butanedione
1-(5-Chloro-2-hydroxyphenyl)-1,3-butanedione (CAS 65897-66-7) is a chlorinated aromatic 1,3-diketone with the linear formula ClC6H3(OH)COCH2COCH3 (C10H9ClO3) and a molar mass of 212.63 g/mol. Supplied as a crystalline organic building block (melting point 112-116 degC), it serves chiefly in chemical synthesis and pharmaceutical-intermediate research, where its reactive 1,3-dicarbonyl and ortho-hydroxyaryl groups enable heterocycle and chelate formation. Tech Serve Solutions offers it to laboratory and manufacturing customers worldwide.

Organic building block
Used as a C10 carbonyl building block in multistep organic synthesis. The combination of a 1,3-diketone and an ortho-hydroxy chlorophenyl ring provides several reactive sites for selective functionalisation.
Pharmaceutical intermediate research
Employed as an intermediate and reference compound in pharmaceutical and medicinal-chemistry research programmes. It is supplied for research and manufacturing use, not as a finished drug substance.
Heterocycle synthesis
The 1,3-dicarbonyl motif is a classical precursor for constructing heterocyclic rings such as pyrazoles, isoxazoles and chromones through condensation and cyclisation reactions.
Coordination and chelation chemistry
As a 1,3-diketone bearing an adjacent phenolic hydroxyl, it can act as a chelating ligand toward metal ions, supporting coordination-chemistry and materials studies.
Laboratory reagent
Functions as a fine-chemical reagent and reference standard for analytical and method-development work in research laboratories.
