Atomfair Dipivaloylmethane DPM C11H20O2 CAS 1118-71-4

Description

Dipivaloylmethane (CAS No. 1118-71-4) is a high-purity β-diketone compound with the molecular formula C₁₁H₂₀O₂, widely utilized in coordination chemistry and materials science. Its IUPAC name, 2,2,6,6-tetramethylheptane-3,5-dione, reflects its symmetrical structure featuring two pivaloyl (trimethylacetyl) groups flanking a central diketone moiety. This sterically hindered diketone exhibits exceptional thermal stability and serves as a versatile precursor for metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), catalysts, and luminescent complexes. Available in >98% purity (GC), it is supplied as a crystalline solid with minimal moisture sensitivity, ensuring consistent performance in demanding applications. Ideal for researchers developing advanced ligands or studying metal ion chelation, its low solubility in water and high solubility in organic solvents like toluene and THF facilitate flexible reaction conditions.
