2-Acetylfluorene Usage And Synthesis

Description

2-Acetylfluorene is a crystalline powder of light yellow and is stable under normal temperatures and pressures. 2-Acetylfluorene is incompatible with strong oxidising agents. 2-Acetylfluorene on decomposition releases carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide.

Chemical Properties

2-Acetylfl uorene is a light yellow crystalline powder and is stable under normal temperatures and pressures. 2-Acetylfl uorene is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents. On decomposition, it releases carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide.

Health Hazard

Exposures to 2-acetylfl uorene cause irritations to the eyes, skin, respiratory tract, and digestive tract. The toxicological properties have not been fully investigated.

storage

2-Acetylfl uorene should be stored in a cool, dry place, in a tightly sealed container.

Purification Methods

Crystallise acetylfluorene from EtOH (solubility is 60g/800mL) or Me2CO (solubility is 60g/400mL). The oxime [110827-07-1] has m 192-193.5o and the 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazone [109682-26-0] has m 261-262o. [Ray & Rieveschl Org Synth Coll Vol III 23 1973.]

Precautions

Occupational workers should avoid exposures to 2-acetylfl uorene and breathing dust, vapor, mist, or gas. They should avoid contact with the skin and eyes, and avoid ingestion and inhalation. Workers should wear appropriate protective gloves to prevent skin exposure and chemical-splash goggles.
