Product Information

• Name: Bis(3-methoxyphenyl)methanone
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Bis(3-methoxyphenyl)methanone is a palladium catalyst that selectively activates olefins. It has been shown to be useful in the synthesis of dihydrobenzofurans and oxonium derivatives, which are used as pharmaceuticals. This compound also catalyzes the transformation of various functional groups, such as diazo, alkenes, and intramolecular aldol condensation. Bis(3-methoxyphenyl)methanone is used as a catalyst for the production of dibenzofuran compounds with high selectivity. The diastereoselectivity of this compound is due to its ability to activate substrates with electron-donating groups at positions ortho to the phenyl group.
