Product Information

• Name: Cyclopropyl(2-pyridyl)methanone
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Cyclopropyl(2-pyridyl)methanone is a ketone with a pyridyl group. It has the maximum absorption at 422 nm and minimal absorption at 619 nm. The Raman spectra of this compound show two peaks at 1607 cm−1 and 1592 cm−1, which correspond to the ketone and methyl ketone conformations respectively. Cyclopropyl(2-pyridyl)methanone can be synthesized by reacting cyclopropane with 2-pyridinecarboxaldehyde in the presence of a base. This reaction is reversible as it produces methyl formate and acetone. Cyclopropyl(2-pyridyl)methanone has been used as an additive in cosmetics, paints, and plastics to increase their stability.
