Methylsulfonylacetone is used as reactant for Stereoselective preparation of chiral cyclic ketones. It is used in the Preparation of poly-substituted pyridines. It aids for Gold-catalyzed Friedlander cyclocondensation reaction. It is used as reactant in Radical homoallylation reactions, multicomponent cyclocondensation with aldehydes and aminoazoles.
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.
