Application

3-Aminophenol has been used in the synthesis of disulfonated bis[4-(3-aminophenoxy)phenyl]sulfone (S-BAPS).
It can be used to synthesize:
  • Methyl 2-oxo-7-[(triphenylphosphoranylidene)amino]-2H-chromene-4-carboxylate by reacting with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate (DMAD) in the presence of triphenylphosphine.
  • 3-Amino-2-cyclohexen-1-one via palladium-catalyzed hydrogenation.
