Pinacolone is a precursor to triazolylpinacolone, triadimefon, paclobutrazol, uniconazole and metribuzin. Furthermore, it acts as an intermediate for biologically active products such as antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral and antituberculous products. It is an important ketone in organic chemistry and participates in condensation, hydrogenation and reductive amination reactions.
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.
