4-Acetylbiphenyl Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

Off-white to beige powder

Uses

4-Acetylbiphenyl is involved in the study of inactivation of 7-ethoxy-4-trifluoromethylcoumarin ortho-deethylase activity by various arylalkynes. Further, it is used in the preparation of Schiffs base.

Uses

4-Acetylbiphenyl was used to study the inactivation of 7-ethoxy-4-trifluoromethylcoumarin O-deethylase activity by various arylalkynes. It may be used in the synthesis of Schiffs base.

Uses

Intermediates of Liquid Crystals

Purification Methods

Crystallise it from EtOH or acetone. It can also be distilled under reduced or atmospheric pressure. The semicarbazone has m 131-132o (aqueous EtOH). [Beilstein 7 H 443, 7 III 2134, 7 IV 1407.]
