Description

Reagent used in synthesis of fused 3-methylfuransDimedone is used in organic chemistry to identify the presence of aldehyde group. It is also used as a catalyst in the formation of transition-metal complexes. Further, it is also employed in colorimetry, crystallography, luminescence and spectrophotometric analysis. In addition to this, it is used in the synthesis of naturally occurring fused 3-methylfurans.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
