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:
Acetosyringone is a phenolic natural product and a chemical compound related to acetophenone and 2,6-dimethoxyphenol. It was first described in relation to lignan/phenylpropanoid-type phytochemicals, with isolation from a variety of plant sources, in particular, in relation to wounding and other physiologic changes.
This latter cumene converts into cumene radical and feeds back into subsequent chain formations of cumene hydroperoxides. A pressure of 5 atm is used to ensure that the unstable peroxide is kept in liquid state. Cumene hydroperoxide undergoes a rearrangement reaction in an acidic medium (the Hock rearrangement) to give phenol and acetone. In ...
Piceol is used in the synthesis of several pharmaceutical drugs including octopamine, sotalol, bamethan, and dyclonine. [citation needed] Piceol can be used to make acetaminophen by condensation with hydroxylamine and subsequent Beckmann rearrangement in acid. [4] Anticonvulsants are also possible by Mannich reaction: [5]
Hydrogels can be used as drug delivery vehicles, for transdermal application, ophthalmic drug delivery, [11] cancer treatment [12] or for wound dressing. [7] [13] As a type of water based formulation, hydrogels are generally less greasy and are easier to be removed than oil-based formulations like organogels. [6]
Organic Synthesis requires many steps to separate and purify products. Depending on the chemical state of the product to be isolated, different techniques are required. For liquid products, a very common separation technique is liquid–liquid extraction and for solid products, filtration (gravity or vacuum) can be used. [15] [16]
Phenylacetone, also known as phenyl-2-propanone, is an organic compound with the chemical formula C 6 H 5 CH 2 COCH 3. It is a colorless oil that is soluble in organic solvents. It is a mono-substituted benzene derivative, consisting of an acetone attached to a phenyl group. As such, its systematic IUPAC name is 1-phenyl-2-propanone.
Metal oxide aerogels are used as catalysts in various chemical reactions/transformations or as precursors for other materials. Aerogels made with aluminium oxide are known as alumina aerogels. These aerogels are used as catalysts, especially when "doped" with a metal other than aluminium. Nickel–alumina aerogel is the most common combination.
