3-Ethoxy-2-cyclohexen-1-one, 99%, Thermo Scientific Chemicals

Description

3-Ethoxy-2-cyclohexen-1-one is a useful intermediate for the preparation of 3-alkyl- or aryl-2-cyclohexen-1-ones, by addition of organometallic reagents and subsequent hydrolysis. It helps in kinetic enolate formation (LDA) and alkylation occurs at the 6-position, the Stork-Danheiser kinetic alkylation procedure, which has found extensive use in alicyclic synthesis.

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.
