Shop All MilliporeSigma Sigma Organic Chemistry ProductsDescription
- 4-hydroxy-4-methyl-2-pentanone can be used to synthesize:
- Diolmonoesters by reacting with aldehydes via tandem aldol-transfer-tischtschenko reaction catalyzed by trimethylaluminum
- Aldol-transfer products such as α-hydroxy ketones by reacting with various aldehydes in the presence of L-proline as a catalyst
- Mono-α-arylated ketones and esters via pd catalyzed reaction with aryl halides and aryl triflates, respectively.it can also be used as a complexing agent to synthesize double-metal cyanide (dmc) catalysts by reacting with metal salt (mx) and cyanometalate compounds
