• Synonyms: 1-(2,3-Dimethoxyphenyl)propan-2-one
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2,3-Dimethoxyphenylacetone is a synthetic compound that has been used as a precursor to other compounds. The synthesis of 2,3-dimethoxyphenylacetone requires the reaction of lithium aluminum hydride with acrylonitrile and hydriodic acid. The molecule can be cyclized in two different ways to form either 2,3-dimethoxybenzaldehyde or 3-methoxybenzaldehyde. The structure of 2,3-dimethoxyphenylacetone is similar to that of hydrazoic acid which has been used as an intermediate in the synthesis of other compounds such as pyrazines.
