2-BROMOPROPIOPHENONE (1-BENZOYL-1-BROMOETHANE)

Phenylethyl is a structural skeleton found in sympathomimetic amines that have important physiological functions within the body as neurotransmitters in the central nervous system and hormones in the blood circulation. Phenyl ketone structure is found in keto alkaloids such as cathinone, a contributor of stimulant effect. Phenyl ketone is a fuel in the brain. Propiophenone might be an useful intermediate to prepare nervous system drugs (anxiolytic and hypnotic drugs). Bupropion is an example which has propiophenone moiety. It is a constituent of synthetic perfumes, flavouring agents, and 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.
