Use
Organic synthesis intermediate: used to synthesize a variety of organic compounds, such as in drug synthesis, it can be used as a key intermediate to construct a molecular structure with specific pharmacological activity; it can also be used to synthesize compounds in the fields of pesticides and fragrances.
Materials Science: It can be used to prepare polymer materials with special properties, such as introducing indane dione structural units through polymerization with other monomers, giving the material unique optical, electrical or mechanical properties.
Storage conditions: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated warehouse. Keep away from fire and heat sources. It should be stored separately from oxidants, alkalis, and edible chemicals, and should not be mixed. Equipped with firefighting equipment of corresponding types and quantities. The storage area should be equipped with appropriate materials to contain leaks.
