CAS 1746-13-0: Allyl phenyl ether

Applications Allyl Phenyl Ether is an protected intermediate in the synthesis of metabolites of Diclofenac (D436450), a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory compound an decycloxygenase (COX) inhibitor.

Allyl phenyl ether is an pharmaceutical and OLED intermediate. This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.

Allyl phenyl ether is a phenyl ether that inhibits the enzyme enoyl-acyl carrier protein reductase (ENR), which is involved in fatty acid synthesis. It can be used as an antimicrobial agent and has been shown to inhibit the growth of several bacteria. Allyl phenyl ether also inhibits the oxidation of dimethyl fumarate, an antioxidant that is used for treatment of multiple sclerosis. A kinetic study on allyl phenyl ether has shown that it binds to the active site of ENR by hydrogen bonding with nitrogen atoms and hydroxide groups. This binding causes a rotation around the double bond, leading to its inhibition by trapping the acyl group in a transition state intermediate.
