Uses
Dental Composites:
Evaluated for use as a photoinitiator in experimental resin dental composites, showing potential for improved mechanical properties.[1]
Methamphetamine Precursor
Identified as a precursor of methamphetamine and studied for its degradation products during long-term storage, providing useful information for impurity profiling.[2]
Hydrogenation Catalyst:
Used in the enantioselective hydrogenation of 1-phenyl-1,2-propanedione over Ir/TiO2 in the presence of a chiral additive, cinchonidine.[3]
