Chemical Properties
CLEAR YELLOW TO BROWNISH LIQUID
Uses
3-Chloro-2-butanone was used in production of chiral alcohols from acetophenone derivatives, β-ketoesters and
N-
Boc-3-pyrrolidinone by recombinant
E. coli cells. It was used in the synthesis of carbene precursor, 3-aryl-4,5-dimethylthiazolium chloride.
Uses
3-Chloro-2-butanone was used to study various carbonylic compounds as substrates for 4-hydroxyacetophenone monooxygenase from
Pseudomonas fluorescens ACB.
