3-Ethoxy-2-cyclohexen-1-one（Cat No.:L014938）is an α,β-unsaturated ketone featuring a six-membered cyclohexenone ring with an ethoxy group at the 3-position. This enone structure makes it a versatile intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in Michael additions, aldol reactions, and heterocycle construction. The ethoxy substituent introduces electron-donating properties, influencing reactivity and regioselectivity in nucleophilic additions. It is commonly employed in the synthesis of natural products, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals. Its conjugated system also enables participation in pericyclic reactions, making it a valuable building block in constructing complex carbon frameworks in modern synthetic chemistry.
