Acetophenone is formed as a byproduct of the cumene process, the industrial route for the synthesis of phenol and acetone.In the Hock rearrangement of isopropylbenzene hydroperoxide, migration of a methyl group rather than the phenyl group gives acetophenone and methanol as a result of an alternate rearrangement of the intermediate:
Common names for ketones can be derived by naming the two alkyl or aryl groups bonded to the carbonyl group as separate words followed by the word ketone. Acetone; Acetophenone; Benzophenone; Ethyl isopropyl ketone; Diethyl ketone; The first three of the names shown above are still considered to be acceptable IUPAC names.
Phenacyl bromide is the organic compound with the formula C 6 H 5 C(O)CH 2 Br. This colourless solid is a powerful lachrymator as well as a useful precursor to other organic compounds. It is prepared by bromination of acetophenone: [2] C 6 H 5 C(O)CH 3 + Br 2 → C 6 H 5 C(O)CH 2 Br + HBr. The compound was first reported in 1871. [3]
Naproxen's medical uses are related to its mechanism of action as an anti-inflammatory compound. [11] Naproxen is used to treat a variety of inflammatory conditions and symptoms that are due to excessive inflammation, such as pain and fever (naproxen has fever-reducing, or antipyretic, properties in addition to its anti-inflammatory activity). [11]
Phenacyl chloride, also commonly known as chloroacetophenone, is a substituted acetophenone.It is a useful building block in organic chemistry.Apart from that, it has been historically used as a riot control agent, where it is designated CN. [5]
Cumene hydroperoxide is the organic compound with the formula C 6 H 5 C(CH 3) 2 OOH; this oily liquid is classified as an organic hydroperoxide. [2] Products of decomposition of cumene hydroperoxide are methylstyrene, acetophenone, and 2-phenyl-propan-2-ol. [3] It is produced by treatment of cumene with oxygen, an autoxidation.
Chemical structure of piceol. Names Preferred IUPAC name. 1-(4-Hydroxyphenyl)ethan-1-one. Other names 1-(4-Hydroxyphenyl)ethanone 4-Hydroxyacetophenone 4 ...
Quadricyclane, a valence isomer, can be obtained from norbornadiene by a photochemical reaction when assisted by a sensitizer such as acetophenone: [2]. The norbornadiene-quadricyclane couple is of potential interest for solar energy storage when controlled release of the strain energy stored in quadricyclane back to norbornadiene is made possible.
