| | Cycloheptanone Usage And Synthesis |
| Chemical Properties | clear colorless to yellow liquid | | Uses | Cycloheptanone is used as a precursor for the synthesis of pharmaceuticals. A spasmolytic agent and vasodilator is produced from this chemical. They are also used in certain stereospecific enzymatic reactions. | | Synthesis Reference(s) | Canadian Journal of Chemistry, 47, p. 145, 1969 DOI: 10.1139/v69-016
