GENERAL DESCRIPTION & APPLICATIONS

Acetophenone, the simplest aromatic ketone, is a clear liquid or crystals; melting point 19 - 20 C; boiling point 202 C; very slightly soluble in water. Commercial acetophenone can be obtained from benzene with acetic anhydride or acetyl chloride by Friedel-Crafts process. It can be also obtained by air oxidation of ethylbenzene, as a by-product of cumene or from acrylonitrile. It is used as a polymerization catalyst for the manufacture of olefins. It is used as an intermediate for pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and other organic compounds. It also has been used as a drug to induce sleep. Its is used in tear gas (especially as the form of chloro acetophenone) and warfare. It is used as an solvent for plastics, resins, cellulose ethers, and esters. The dimer (dipnone) is used as a plasticizer. Actophenone and its derivatives, having additionally substituted saturated alkyls, oxygenated alkyl groups, thio groups, additional aromatic groups, unsaturated aliphatic side chains, and other functional groups, are ingredients of flavor & fragrance for in soaps, detergents, cosmetics, and perfumes as well as in foods, beverages, and tobacco.

Hydroxyacetophenone is used as building block for the synthesis of rubbers, plastics, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and flavor and fragrances (odor: Sweet, heavy floral).
