3-Coumaranone is used in the aurones, [2-benzylidenebenzofuran-3(2H)-ones] by reacting with appropriate aldehyde. It is involved in the condensation reaction with aldehydes in the presence of morpholine acetate to prepare substituted 2-(arylidene)benzofuran-3(ZH)-ones. In Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons reaction, it reacts with diethyl¬ cyanomethyl¬phosphonate to give 3-(cyanomethyl)benzofurans, which is an intermediate in the synthesis of antihyperglycemic agents.

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. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
