Bicyclo[3.2.0]hept-2-en-6-one is widely utilized to study enantioselective Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of (±)-cis-bicyclo(3.2.0)hept-2-en-6-one. It is used in the synthesis of a series of chalcone derivatives by reacting with arylaldehydes. It is also used to analyze the extremophile enzymes (monooxygenase and hydrolases) in microorganisms which are isolated from a deep-water petroleum reservoir and at high temperatures using fluorogenic assays and multibioreactions.
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.
