    About 6.7 million tonnes were produced worldwide in 2010, mainly for use as a solvent and for production of methyl methacrylate and bisphenol A, which are precursors to widely used plastics. [23] [24] It is a common building block in organic chemistry. It serves as a solvent in household products such as nail polish remover and paint thinner.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetone_peroxide

    The chemical name acetone peroxide is most commonly used to refer to the cyclic trimer, the product of a reaction between two precursors, hydrogen peroxide and acetone, in an acid-catalyzed nucleophilic addition, although monomeric and dimeric forms are also possible. [18] [19] Synthesis of tri-cyclic acetone peroxide.

    It can be used with nonpolar compounds, but cannot accommodate complex chemistry. Reichardt's dye, a solvatochromic dye that changes color in response to polarity, gives a scale of E T (30) values. E T is the transition energy between the ground state and the lowest excited state in kcal/mol, and (30) identifies the dye.

    It used molasses as feedstock and had 96 fermenters with a volume of 96,000 gallons each. [8] After World War II, ABE fermentation became generally non-profitable, compared to the production of the same three solvents (acetone, butanol, ethanol) from petroleum. [1] During the 1950s and 1960s, ABE fermentation was replaced by petroleum chemical ...

  9. Acetonide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetonide

    General structure of a 1,2-acetonide. The diol is shown in blue, the acetone part in red. In organic chemistry, an acetonide is the functional group composed of the cyclic ketal of a diol with acetone. The more systematic name for this structure is an isopropylidene ketal. Acetonide is a common protecting group for 1,2- and 1,3-diols. [1]
