  • Applications

    2-(2-Butynyl)cyclohexanone (CAS 54166-48-2) is commonly used as a synthetic intermediate to access cyclic ketone scaffolds for pharmaceutical and crop-protection research. It is also considered a chemical intermediate for the fragrance industry, serving as a building block for aroma molecules in perfumery. Its alkyne functionality on the side chain makes it a versatile building block for polymer, plastic, coatings/inks, and adhesive formulations, enabling crosslinking and functionalization via click chemistry. Consequently, it is widely evaluated in specialty chemical synthesis and process development for diverse industrial applications.
