trans,trans-Dibenzylideneacetone is a yellow crystalline powder, melting point 110-111℃; cis-trans is a light yellow needle crystal, melting point 60℃; cis-cis is a yellow oily liquid, boiling point 130℃ (2.7Pa). Soluble in ethanol, acetone, chloroform, insoluble in water.
trans,trans-Dibenzylideneacetone was used as an additive in the copper-catalyzed-arylation of imidazoles. It is a reactant involved in Nazarov-like cyclization, Transfer hydrogenation, Lewis acid mediated condensation, Hetero-Diels-Alder reactions, Asymmetric 1,4-addition reactions and Michael addition reactions.
