General description

1,3-Dichloroacetone has been identified as a metabolite of 1,3-dichloropropanol by TLC. Kinetics of the reversible hydration of 1,3-dichloroacetone have been studied spectrophotometrically in solutions of water in dioxan and in acetonitrile.

1,3-dichloroacetone is a dihaloketone derivative used as a reagent in the synthesis of complex multicyclic peptides.

Application

1,3-Dichloroacetone was used as acceptor substrate in the cross-aldol reaction with donor substrates such as acetone, cyclopentanone and cyclohexanone.
