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

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
