2-Ethylcyclohexanone is used as a pharmaceutical intermediate. 2-Methyl and 2-ethyl derivatives of cyclohexanone were allowed to react with deuterium in tBuOD using platinum group metals as catalysts to study the substituent effects in heterogeneous catalysis.
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.
