4-Ethylacetophenone Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

clear colorless to yellow liquid

Uses

It can be used to produce 1,1'-p-phenylene-bis-ethanone. This reaction will need reagent air, cobalt naphthenate. The reaction temperature is 125°C.

Uses

Intermediates of Liquid Crystals

General Description

4-Ethylacetophenone is one of the attractive components of a carob-peanut extract that elicited a positive behavioral response from Oryzaephilus surinamensis, S. granarius and C. ferrugineus.

Synthesis

4-Ethylacetophenone is prepared from para-Ethylphenol plus Acetylchloridewith Aluminum chloride in an inert solvent (Fnedel-Craft’s reaction).
