CAS 539-80-0: Tropone

2,4,6-Cycloheptatrien-1-one is a cyclic ketone that has been used as an intermediate in the synthesis of other organic compounds. It is a natural product that is found in a variety of plants and animals. It can be synthesized by reacting hydrogen chloride with cyclohexene. 2,4,6-Cycloheptatrien-1-one reacts with hydrogen to form acetyl chloride and cyclohexene. This reaction mechanism is similar to the one used to produce aspirin from salicylic acid. The steric interactions between the two molecules are important for this reaction to proceed. 2,4,6-Cycloheptatrien-1-one has been shown to show anti-HIV activity when it was tested on human cells infected with HIV. This compound also appears to have anti-inflammatory properties due to its ability to inhibit prostaglandin synthesis when it binds to fatty acids in
