Product Description
Product Application:
Z)-3-Methylpent-2-en-4-yn-1-ol is used as a reagent in organic synthesis of many compounds including that of prolycopene which is a tangerine-colored tetra-Z-isomer of lycopene that is found in fruits of the tangerine tomato. Z)-3-Methylpent-2-en-4-yn-1-ol is also used in the synthesis of Leucosceptroids A and B which have potent antifungal properties.
This compound belongs to the class of organic compounds known as acetylides. These are compounds arising by replacement of one or both hydrogen atoms of acetylene (ethyne) by a metal or other cationic group. E.g. NaC#CH monosodium acetylide. By extension, analogous compounds derived from terminal acetylenes, RC#CH. The class is limited here to derivatives of acetylene where the hydrogen atom is replaced with an element with similar or lower electronegativity that carbon.
