GENERAL DESCRIPTION & APPLICATIONS

Propiophenone (Phenyl ethyl ketone) is a useful intermediate to prepare nervous system drugs (anxiolytic and hypnotic drugs). Bupropion is an example which has propiophenone moiety. Bupropion is an aminoketone class antidepressant. Propiophenone is used in the synthesis of  ketoamphetamines such as cathinone and methcathinone. Propiophenone can also be converted to synthetic aryl alkenes such as cinnamic acids. Propiophenone is a constituent of synthetic perfumes, flavouring agents, and of paints to stabilize other ingredients. Ketones can be made by the oxidation of secondary alcohols and the destructive distillation of certain salts of organic acids. In addition to as polar solvents, ketones are important intermediates in the syntheses of organic compounds such as alkoxides, hydroxyalkynes, imines, alcohols (primary, secondary as well as tertiary), acetals, thioacetals, phosphine oxides, geminal diols, hydrazones, organic sulfite and cyanohydrins. Propiophenone is a clear liquid that is insoluble in water, but miscible with methanol, ethanol, diethyl ether, benzene and toluene.

Butyrophenone is the basic structure of antipsychotic drugs such as droperidol, azaperone, trifluperidol, bromperidol, and haloperidol. Chemical structure of Neuroleptic agents are diverse; including phenothiazines, thioxanthenes, butyrophenones, dibenzoxazepines, dibenzodiazepines, dihydroindolones, and diphenylbutylpiperidines. Some vermicides have hydroxy or methoxy butyrophenone (Desaspidin).
