[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.

[Definition]

ChEBI: A methyl ketone that is acetone in which one of the hydrogens of the methyl group has been replaced by a phenyl group.
[Preparation]

From benzene and acetylchloride in the presence of aluminum chloride or by catalytic oxidation of ethyl benzene; also prepared by fractional distillation and crystallization from the essential oil of Stirlingia latifolia.
[Production Methods]

Most methyl phenyl ketone originates from the Hock process for the production of phenol from isopropylbenzene (→Phenol); it is isolated from the residue of this process. In addition, acetophenone can be obtained as a main product by selective decomposition of cumene hydroperoxide in the presence of copper catalysts at 100℃:
Acetophenone synthesis
A second possibility is the oxidation of ethylbenzene with air or oxygen at 130℃ and 0.5 MPa. Catalysts used include cobalt salts or manganese salts of naphthenic or fatty acids. Conversion of ethylbenzene is limited to ca. 25 % to minimize the byproducts 1-phenylethanol and benzoic acid. A third method is the Friedel – Crafts acetylation of benzene with acetic anhydride, but this is not of industrial importance.

[Fire Hazard]

Combustible liquid; flash point (closed cup) 82°C (180°F); vapor pressure 1 torr at 37°C (98.6°F); vapor density 4.1 (air = 1); autoignition temperature 570°C (1058°F); fire-extinguishing agent: dry chemical, foam, or CO2; water may cause frothing, but it can be used to flush and dilute the spill. Its reaction with strong oxidizers may be violent.
[Flammability and Explosibility]

Notclassified
[Carcinogenicity]

No carcinogenicity studies were identified for acetophenone. The U.S. EPA has classified acetophenone as a Category D, not classifiable as to human carcinogenicity.
[Environmental Fate]

It is unclear what mechanism is responsible for the central nervous system depression observed following high doses of acetophenone. In vitro evaluations have demonstrated that acetophenone suppresses voltage-gated ion channels in olfactory receptor cells and retinal neurons; however, it is unclear if this is related to any of the observed toxicity in animal studies.
[Metabolism]

At one time, acetophenone was used as a hypnotic. Its conversion to benzoic acid and methylphenylcarbinol in dogs and rabbits was observed by a number of early workers. Small amounts are also excreted as mandelic acid. In the rabbit about half the dose is excreted as methylphenylcarbinyl glucuronide and about 20 % as hippuric acid. It is probable that the ketone is first asymmetrically reduced to the carbinol, which is the precursor of benzoic and mandelic acids.
[Purification Methods]

Dry it by fractional distillation or by standing with anhydrous CaSO4 or CaCl2 for several days, followed by fractional distillation under reduced pressure (from P2O5, optional), and careful, slow and repeated partial crystallisations from the liquid at 0o excluding light and moisture. It can also be crystallised at low temperatures from isopentane. Distillation can be followed by purification using gas-liquid chromatography [Earls & Jones J Chem Soc, Faraday Trans 1 71 2186 1975.] [Beilstein 7 H 271, 7 IV 619.] § A commercial polystyrene supported version is available — scavenger resin (for diol substrates).
[Toxicity evaluation]

The production and use of acetophenone as a specialty solvent and fragrance and flavor additive may result in environmental releases to the air, water, and soil. Acetophenone is slightly soluble in water and freely soluble in alcohol, chloroform, fatty oils, and glycerol. The vapor pressure at 25 °C is 0.4 mmHg, the Henry’s law constant is estimated to be 1.04×105 atmm3 mol-1, and the octanol/water partition coefficient (log Kow) is 1.58.
If released to the soil, acetophenone is expected to have high mobility, with volatilization from moist soils. If released to the water, volatilization is anticipated from the surface and acetophenone is not anticipated to adsorb to sediment. The potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is predicted to be low. If released to the atmosphere, the half-life is anticipated to be 6 days, with degradation occurring by reaction with photochemically produced hydroxyl radicals.

[General description]

Acetophenone is also known as acetyl benzene with the boiling point (℃) being 202.3, relative density (water = 1) being 1.03 (20 ℃) and the relative vapor density (air = 1) being 4.14. It is the simplest aromatic ketones with its aromatic core (benzene ring) being directly connected with a carbonyl group. It is presented in some kinds of essential oils of some plants in its free-state form. It is pure colorless crystals. Most commercially available product appears as pale yellow oily liquid with hawthorn like aroma. It is only slightly soluble in water and is easily soluble in many organic solvents and can be evaporated together with the steam. The molecular structure of acetophenone: methyl C atom is bonded through sp3 hybrid orbital while the benzene ring and the carbonyl C atom are bonded through sp2 hybrid orbital. Addition reaction and [alpha] active hydrogen reaction can occur for the carbonyl group of acetophenone. It can also have electrophilic substitution reaction in its benzene ring with the major product generated being in the meta-position. Acetophenone can be produced from the reaction between benzene with acetyl chloride, acetic anhydride or acetate under the catalysis of aluminum trichloride. Furthermore, when ethylbenzene is catalyzed and oxidized into styrene, it can also generate acetophenone as by-product. Acetophenone is mainly used as the raw materials for pharmaceuticals and other kind of organic synthesis. It can also used for the preparation of spices, soap and cigarettes as well as being used as the solvents of cellulose ether, cellulose ester and resin and plasticizer. It has hypnotic effect. Currently, acetophenone is mostly obtained via the by-product of reaction between phenol and acetone via cumene oxidation. It may be obtained through the acetylation on benzene through acetyl chloride.
[Characterization of acetophenone production via acylation reaction of Friedel-Craffs]

1, the catalyst (aluminum trichloride) used in the acylation greatly exceeds the amount of the catalyst used in the alkylation reaction, the resulting acetophenone can form complex with an equivalent amount of aluminum chloride while by-product acetic acid formed in the reaction can also form salt with an equivalent of aluminum chloride. Therefore, during the acylation reaction, one molecule of acid anhydride can consume two or more molecules of aluminum chloride.
2, acetophenone/aluminum chloride complex formed during the reaction is stable in anhydrous medium, only when the reaction mixture undergoes hydrolysis, the complex is destroyed with precipitating acetophenone. After the aluminum chloride forms complex with acetophenone, it no longer participates in the reaction, therefore, the amount of aluminum chloride should meet the requirement that: after the formation of complex, there still remains certain part as the catalyst of the acylation reaction.
3, since the aluminum chloride can form a complex with substance containing a carboxyl group, the raw material, acetic anhydride can also form molecular complex with aluminum chloride and no longer participate in the reaction, meaning that acetic anhydride can’t been quantitatively converted to acetophenone; Furthermore, in the reaction, when the amount of aluminum chloride is in excess, it can act as the acylating agent for making the acetate into acetyl chloride to participate into the reaction.
4, in the reaction system, the amount of benzene is also in large excess because the benzene is not only the reactant but also the solvent in the reaction, therefore, only the yield of acetyl can be used as the reference reagent.
5, the characteristics of the acylation reaction: pure product, high yield (since acyl does not have isomerization, nor has multiple substitution)
[Content Analysis]

Accurately weigh sample of about 1g, determine it according to the method 1 in the "determination of aldehydes and ketones" (OT-7), wherein the heating time was 1h and the equivalency factors (e) in the calculation was 60.08.

At temperature above 20 °C, it is colorless or slightly yellow transparent liquid above with strong acacia-like sweet aroma. It has the melting point of 19.7 ℃, boiling point of 202 ℃ and the flash point of 76 ℃. It can be subject to spontaneous burning. It is extremely easily to be dissolved in propylene glycol and non-volatile oil, soluble in chloroform, ether and ethanol (1ml dissolved in 5mL 50% ethanol), slightly soluble in water and propylene glycol and insoluble in glycerol.
The natural product is presented in labdanum oil and orris oil.
[Uses]

Methyl phenyl ketone is mainly converted to resins (synthetic resins) by reaction with formaldehyde. It is also used as a photoinitiator for special printing plates as well as for organic syntheses, particularly for pharmaceuticals. Certain derivatives, such as 1-phenylethanol (obtained by hydrogenation) and its acetate, are used as fragrances. Furthermore, methyl phenyl ketone is used for the synthesis of optical brighteners.
