Description

2,5-Hexanedione is used as a reagent in the preparation of trans-2,5-dimethylpyrrolidine. It is also used in the synthesis of 2,5-dimethylpyrroles. Further, it plays an important role as a reagent used for the protection of amino groups in amino sugars and nucleosides. In addition to this, it is used in the preparation of five-membered heterocycles like indane-type and benzannulated systems. It is also employed as a precursor in Diels-alder cycloaddition reactions.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand.
