5-Hydroxysophoranone (5-Hydroxyelongone) is an organic compound with the chemical formula C14H14O2. It is a white crystalline solid, insoluble in water, but soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol, chloroform and dichloromethane. It has a fragrant alcoholic odor.
5-Hydroxysophoranone has certain application value in the field of medicine. Studies have shown that it has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and anti-tumor biological activity. It can be used as an intermediate in drug synthesis for the preparation of various compounds with potential therapeutic effects.
In the laboratory, there are many ways to synthesize 5-Hydroxysophoranone. One common method is to synthesize 5-Hydroxysophoranone through keto-alcohol interconversion reaction. First, some starting materials can be converted into intermediate compounds by specific reaction steps, and then 5-Hydroxysophoranone can be prepared by oxidation, reduction, acylation, etc. The specific synthetic route can be optimized and improved according to actual needs.
When using and handling 5-Hydroxysophoranone, you need to pay attention to some safety information. It is an organic substance that is potentially toxic and should be avoided in direct contact with the skin and eyes. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves and safety glasses when used in the laboratory. In addition, it should be operated under well-ventilated laboratory conditions to avoid inhalation of its vapors. In order to avoid accidents, it is recommended to follow appropriate laboratory procedures for operation and handling.
