Overview
Pinacolone
Pinacolone (3,3-dimethyl-2-butanone) is an important ketone intermediate primarily used in the synthesis of triazole-class fungicides such as paclobutrazol, uniconazole, and diniconazole. It serves as the starting material for the t-butyl ketone moiety found in many modern agrochemicals and pharmaceutical compounds. Pinacolone is also used in flavors and fragrances as a precursor to specialty aroma chemicals. Its branched structure provides unique steric properties valued in asymmetric synthesis.
