Application | 3-oxetanone is a ketone organic compound, in the process of laboratory research and development, it is mainly used in the field of scientific research and preparation of organic reagents. 3-oxetanone is the most basic intermediate of oxetane system. Oxetane is more and more widely used in the research and development of new drugs due to its very special spatial configuration. Therefore, 3-oxetanone has more and more important applications in organic chemistry and biomedicine. |
preparation | using compound I, namely, O-bromobenzoic acid as the starting material, under the action of phase transfer catalyst, nucleophilic substitution reaction with epichlorohydrin to obtain compound II; Oxidation reaction of compound II under the action of oxidant to obtain compound III; compound III undergoes hydrolysis reaction and intramolecular nucleophilic substitution reaction under alkaline conditions to obtain the target compound IV, I .e., 3-oxetanone. |
