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.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
Aplicaciones
La acetofenona se utiliza como materia prima en la síntesis de principios activos, como el dextropropoxifeno y la fenilpropanolamina. Se emplea en síntesis orgánica y como catalizador de la polimerización para olefinas. Participa en la preparación de estireno, 1-feniletanol. También se utiliza como componente activo de recubrimientos y tintas. Reacciona con formaldehído para preparar resinas. Además, se utiliza en recubrimientos textiles y en perfumes para el olor a azahar. Asimismo, se utiliza como disolvente en plásticos y adhesivos, y como agente aromatizante en alimentos.
