Application

Tropolone is a sensitive reagent for reducing sugars. It is also an organic chelator that can form complexes with trivalent lathanide ions (Eu3+, Gd3+, and Tb3+).
It can also be used as:
  • A precursor to synthesize azulene derivatives such as methyl 2-methylazulene-1-carboxylate.
  • A reagent to prepare fused heterocycles and complexes of Ga(III) and In(III).
