What is Acetophenone?
Description
Acetophenone is the simplest aromatic ketone and is a clear liquid/crystal and very slightly soluble in water with a sweet pungent taste and odour resembling oranges. It is used as a polymerisation catalyst for the manufacture of olefins. Acetophenone is used in perfumery as a fragrance ingredient in soaps, detergents, creams, lotions, and perfumes; as a flavouring agent in foods, non-alcoholic beverages, and tobacco; as a specialty solvent for plastics and resins; as a catalyst for the polymerisation of olefins; and as a photosensitiser in organic syntheses. Acetophenone is a raw material for the synthesis of some pharmaceuticals and is also listed as an approved excipient by the U.S. FDA. Acetophenone occurs naturally in many foods such as apple, apricot, banana, and beef. Acetophenone has been detected in ambient air and drinking water; exposure of the general public may occur through the inhalation of contaminated air or the consumption of contaminated water. It is highly flammable and will get easily ignited by heat, sparks, or flames, and the vapours may form explosive mixtures with air.
