Copper(II) 2,4-pentanedionate is used as a catalyst for carbene transfer reactions, coupling reactions and Michael addition reactions. It is also used as a catalyst for the polymerization of olefins and transesterification reactions as well as a PVC stabilizer. Further, it is used as a curing agent for epoxy resins, acrylic adhesives, silicone rubbers. In addition to this, it is used as a lubricant additive and paint drier.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
