3-Methoxycyclobutan-1-one

CAS: 30830-25-2

Ref. 3D-FBA83025

Product Information

• Name: 3-Methoxycyclobutan-1-one
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 3-Methoxycyclobutan-1-one (3MCO) is an electron donor and is capable of undergoing electrochemical oxidation. 3MCO has been shown to oxidize electron acceptors, such as hydrocarbons, and transfer the electrons to a second electron acceptor. The mechanism of this process is thought to be a three-electron transfer, which is also known as a "polycyclic" reaction. 3MCO has also been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis in mice with lung cancer.
