PRODUCT INTRODUCTION
Description
Benzalacetone is an endogenous metabolite. It acts as a flavouring agent, a spice, a bacterial metabolite and an inhibitor of EC 3.1.1.4 (phospholipase A2). It is mainly used in food additives, flavours and fragrances, and as an intermediate in chemical synthesis or reaction reagents. In addition, the novel hydrophobic benzazepine acetone can also be used to modify lead dioxide electrodes for electrocatalytic degradation of coal tar wastewater.
