Application

2-Isopropylcyclopentanone serves as a versatile intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly for constructing complex cyclic structures in medicinal chemistry. The steric hindrance from the isopropyl group makes it valuable for studying stereoselective reactions and developing chiral catalysts. In flavor/fragrance applications, it contributes woody, camphoraceous notes to specialty formulations. Researchers also utilize this ketone as a model substrate for investigating ring expansion reactions and carbonyl reactivity patterns.
