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+).[1] It can also be used as:
A precursor to synthesize azulene derivatives such as methyl 2-methylazulene-1-carboxylate.[2]
A reagent to prepare fused heterocycles[3] and complexes of Ga(III) and In(III).[4]

A series of alkylidenethiosemicarbazide compounds were synthesized and their inhibitory effects on the diphenolase activity of mushroom tyrosinase were evaluated. The results showed that most of the synthesized compounds exhibited significant inhibitory activities. Especially, compound 1f was found to be

6-Hydroxymethyl-6-methylcyclohexa-2,4-dienone is a mechanistic probe which when incubated with an extradiol dioxygenase yields a 2-tropolone product. This observation was originally interpreted as evidence supporting a direct heterolytic 1,2-alkenyl migration mechanism for a ring expansion reaction catalyzed by this class of
