FormLiquid

Diethyl benzylphosphonate is used as a reactant for synthesis of 3,5-dihydroxy-4-isopropylstilbene for treatment of skin disorders and natural cytotoxic marine products of polyketide origin via intramolecular Diels-Alder reactions. It is also used as reactant for cyclization of aryl ethers, amines and amides & for investigating the effects of functional groups on the performance of clue organic LEDs.

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.
