Product Information

• Name: 3-Bicyclo[3.2.1]octanone
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 3-Bicyclo[3.2.1]octanone is an organic compound that has a cyclohexane ring with a peroxide group. It is used as a synthon in the synthesis of other compounds. 3-Bicyclo[3.2.1]octanone can be synthesized by reacting α-pinene with carbon tetrachloride and cyclohexane in the presence of UV light and an oxidant, or by treating enolate with hydrogen peroxide catalysed with uv absorption to form a ketone and hydroperoxide. This product has been shown to possess UV absorption properties at 220 nm, which make it suitable for use in polymer films where it can absorb ultraviolet radiation and convert it into heat energy. The 3-bicyclo[3.2.1]octanone molecule is chiral, so only one stereoisomer will have these photochemical properties.
