Uses

Used in Organic Synthesis:
Cyclopropanone is used as a building block in organic synthesis for the creation of various complex organic molecules. Its high reactivity allows for the formation of new chemical bonds and the synthesis of a wide range of compounds.
Used in Pharmaceutical Production:
Cyclopropanone serves as a key intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals. Its unique structure and reactivity enable the synthesis of specific drug molecules, contributing to the development of new medications.
Used in Agrochemical Production:
In the agrochemical industry, Cyclopropanone is utilized as a starting material for the synthesis of various agrochemicals, such as pesticides and herbicides. Its reactivity and ring strain facilitate the formation of bioactive molecules with potential applications in agriculture.
Due to its instability, Cyclopropanone is typically used in situ, and its commercial availability is limited. However, its applications in organic synthesis, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals highlight its importance in the development of new and innovative chemical compounds.

PHOTOLYSIS OF ALLENE-OZONE MIXTURES AT 647 nm IN CRYOGENIC MATRICES. Part 1. Formation of allene oxide

Matrix studies of the photolytic reaction at 647 nm between allene and ozone were carried out at 12 K.Primary photoproducts include carbon monoxide, acrolein (cis and trans), cyclopropanone, ketene, ethylene, allene oxide, and formaldehyde.In Ar and Kr matrices both acrolein and cyclopropanone are produced in high yields, whereas in Xe matrices cyclopropanone is the major product.Infrared spectra for cyclopropanone and ith oxygen-18 and deuterium substitutes are reported.The carbonyl stretch for cyclopropanone is observed at 1815 cm-1 in an Ar matrix.Also reported is the first synthesis of allene oxide.The carbon-carbon double bond stretch is observed at 1823.4 cm-1 and it exhibits a small oxygen-18 shift.The change in product distribution is discussed in terms of heavy atom spin-orbit enhancement of singlet-triplet excitation, so that in xenon reaction takes place on a triplet surface, whereas in argon it occurs on a singlet surface.

A One-Carbon Ring Enlarged Cyclopropanation or Vinylation Reaction of Cyclic Keto Esters or Sulfones

On treating potassium salts of n-membered cyclic keto esters or sulfones with phenyl 1-propenyl selenone, a one-carbon ring expansion reaction involving cyclopropanation or vinylation takes place to give the corresponding bicycloalkanones or (n
