General description

Contains 0.02%-0.15% BHT

Application

Cycloheptatriene can be used as a reactant to synthesize:      
  • 2-Hydroxyazulene via [2+2] cycloaddition reaction with dichloroketene, and subsequent ring expansion reaction with diazomethane.      
  • 7-Alkyl-bicyclo[4.2.1]nona-2,4,7-trienes by cobalt catalyzed [6+2] cycloaddition with terminal alkynes.     
  • (3,5-Cycloheptadienyl)diphenylphosphine ligand by reacting with diphenylphosphine.
