Acetophenone CAS 98-86-2 Purity >99.0% (GC)

Acetophenone (CAS: 98-86-2) is the simplest aromatic ketones with its aromatic core (benzene ring) being directly connected with a carbonyl group. Acetophenone finds uses as a specialty solvent, resin, intermediate, polymerization catalyst, and in organic synthesis. Acetophenone is a reagent used in the production of fragrances and resin polymers. Acetophenone is used as a raw material in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients such as dextropropoxyphene and phenylpropanolamine. It is employed in organic synthesis and as a polymerization catalyst for olefins. It is involved in the preparation of styrene, 1-phenylethanol. It is also used as a active component of coatings and inks. It reacts with formaldehyde to prepare resins. Further, it is used in textile coatings, in perfumes for orange blossom odor. In addition to this, it is used as a solvent in plastics, adhesives and a flavoring agent in foods. Acetophenone is mainly used as the raw materials for pharmaceuticals and other kind of organic synthesis. It can also used for the preparation of spices, soap and cigarettes as well as being used as the solvents of cellulose ether, cellulose ester and resin and plasticizer. GB 2760--1996 provides it for the use of food flavors. It is mainly used for preparation of the spices of grapes, cherries and other fruits and tobacco. It can be used as solvent, extraction agent as well as being applied to pharmaceutical industry. It can be used as a solvent, olefin polymerization catalyst as well as being used for the manufacture of spices.
