2-Phenylcyclohexanone(CAT: R062515) is an aromatic ketone featuring a cyclohexanone ring substituted with a phenyl group at the 2-position. This compound serves as a valuable intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals, fragrances, and fine chemicals. The combination of a ketone functional group and a bulky aromatic ring allows for diverse reactivity, including enolate chemistry, reductions, and condensations, making it suitable for constructing complex molecular scaffolds. Its rigid, bicyclic structure also lends itself to applications in stereoselective synthesis and medicinal chemistry.
