Product Information

• Name: Spiro[4.5]decan-2-one
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Spiro[4.5]decan-2-one is a lactam that is used in pharmaceutical formulations for the treatment of cerebral and nervous disorders. Lactams are prepared by reacting an amine with a carbonyl compound, usually a carboxylic acid, in the presence of an acid catalyst. This reaction creates a ring structure that contains both a nitrogen atom and an oxygen atom. Spiro[4.5]decan-2-one can be administered orally or intravenously. It is also used as an intermediate in the synthesis of other drugs, such as anti-inflammatory agents and antibiotics. The preparation process includes three steps: the tosylate is activated by reaction with hydrochloric acid; then it reacts with magnesium sulfate to form the crystalline salt; and finally this salt is treated with ethyl chloride to produce the hydrochloride salt, which is soluble in water.
