4-Methoxy-3-buten-2-one is an important precursor for the synthesis of 1-methoxy-3-trimethylsilyloxy-1,3-butadiene and the Danishefsky diene and its equivalent. It is widely used as a reactant in the synthesis of hydroisoquinoline derivatives. It is employed as an intermediate for the synthesis of manzamine.
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.
