3',4'-Dichloropropiophenone

Applications 3’,4’-Dichloropropiophenone is used as a reagent in the preparation of antidepressant aryl-alkyl-piperidine derivatives. Also used in the synthesis of mGlu5 receptor negative allosteric modulators. Also in the genetic screening of compounds countering the growth of methylthioadenosine phosphorylase involved in cancer spread. References Zheng, Y. et al.: Eur. J. Med.

3,4-Dichloropropiophenone is an organic solvent that contains a chlorine atom. 3,4-Dichloropropiophenone exhibits significant activity for the removal of chlorinated phenols and other halogenated organic compounds from wastewater. The reaction mechanism of this process involves the conversion of 3,4-dichloropropiophenone to a tetranuclear thiolate complex which then reacts with the halogenated compound to form an imine. This imine is hydrolyzed by hydroxide ion to produce a chlorine-containing product and ammonia. 3,4-Dichloropropiophenone has also been shown to have antimalarial activity.
