TROPONE Chemical Properties, Uses, Production

Uses

Tropone has been used in synthesis of:

  • bicyclic δ-lactones via heterocyclic carbine-catalyzed [8+3] annulation pathway
  • 6,7-benzobicyclo [3.2.2] nona-3,6,8-trien-2-one via thermal addition to bezyne

Application

Tropone can be used to prepare the synthon of cycloheptadiene-1-one; it is used as the basis for the synthesis of cycloheptadiene compounds, fluorene compounds, polycyclic compounds, and natural products.

Preparation

2,4,6-cycloheptatrien-1-one (1) is a functionalized conjugated carbocyclic compound  with diversified reactivity. The most popular and simple method of preparation involves oxidation of 1,3,5- Cycloheptatriene with Selenium(IV) Oxide-KH2PO4.  Several other procedures have also been  developed, among which electrooxidation of cycloheptatrienes and α-pyrone ring expansion via high-pressure cycloaddition of cyclopropenone acetals can be considered general methods of synthesis of  tropones.
