Application

4′-Methylpropiophenone can be used as a building block to synthesize:
  • N





  • -(4-Chlorophenyl)-N′-[1-(4-methylphenyl)propyl]urea as a potential CRAC channel inhibitor.
  • Mono and trinuclear cobaloxime/organocobaloxime complexes, which are used as efficient catalysts for the synthesis of cyclic carbonates.
  • Tolperisone (TOL) via acid-catalyzed reaction with piperidine hydrochloride and 1,2-dioxolane.
