Description

β-Hydroxybutyrophenone (CAS NO 13505-39-0) is a versatile aromatic ketone derivative that serves as a critical building block in advanced organic synthesis. Its value lies in its bifunctional structure, featuring both a ketone and a hydroxyl group, which enables its use in constructing complex molecular frameworks. This intermediate is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and fine chemical industries seeking to develop new active compounds and specialty materials.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key precursor in the synthesis of various active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly those with aromatic ketone backbones.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the production of herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators where the phenone structure is required.
• Fine Chemical Production: Serves as a building block for fragrances, flavors, and other high-value specialty chemicals.
• Organic Research & Development: Employed in academic and industrial R&D for studying ketone chemistry, reduction reactions, and as a starting material for heterocyclic compounds.
• Polymer Chemistry: Can be utilized as a monomer or modifier in the synthesis of specialty polymers and resins.
• Ligand and Catalyst Preparation: Acts as a precursor for chelating ligands used in metal-catalyzed reactions.
