Ethyl propionylacetate acts as a precursor used in the preparation of 1-ethyl- and 1-n-propyl-1,3,4,9-tetrahydropyrano[3,4-b]indole-1-acetic acid bearing one or two substituents on the benzene ring. Further, it is used to prepare 3-propionyl-2H-cyclohepta[b]furan-2-one.
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.
