Acetylacetone is a kind of important intermediates of organic synthesis, mainly used in the materials for producing sulphonamide and animal remedy. Also used as solvent of cellulose acetate, additive of gasoline and lubricant, dryer of paint and varnish, bactericide and pesticide etc.

Building block for heterocycles (isoxazoles, pyrazoles,pyrimidines, pyridines)
For the synthesis of metal acetylacetonates as catalysts
For the synthesis of anti-corrosion preparations
Its peroxide is used as radical initiator for polymerisations
Building block for the synthesis of pharmaceuticals (e.g. Sulfamethanzine, Nicarbazine)
For synthesis of vitamin B6 and vitamin K
For synthesis of pesticides (e.g. Sulfamethazine,
sulfonylurea-herbicides)
