Uses of Dimedone: Dimedone is a cyclic diketone used in organic chemistry to determine whether a compound contains an aldehyde group. And in general it can be used as catalysts in the formation of transition-metal complexes. Other uses include applications in colourimetry, crystallography, luminescence and spectrophotometric analysis. It can also be used for chemistry involving organic compounds of low electrical resistance. In addition, it is also used as reactant in many reactions, for instance, it can react with diacetoxy-phenyl-l3-iodane to obtain phenyldimedonyliodon at ambient temperature in ethanol for 30 min, yield is 82 %.
