Description

Acetophenone CAS NO 90536-47-3 is a versatile aromatic ketone widely used as a key intermediate and fragrance ingredient. Its importance lies in its ability to impart pleasant, sweet, floral odors and to serve as a fundamental building block in organic synthesis. This product is essential for industries such as fragrance and flavor manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals, where consistent quality and reliable supply are paramount.

Application

• Fragrance and Flavor Industry: A primary component in perfumes, soaps, and detergents for its sweet, floral, almond-like scent.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Serves as a crucial starting material in the synthesis of various active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the production of pesticides, herbicides, and other crop protection agents.
• Solvent and Plasticizer: Functions as a high-boiling-point solvent for resins, cellulose esters, and in the manufacture of plasticizers.
• Photoinitiator Production: An important precursor in the synthesis of photoinitiators used in UV-curable inks, coatings, and adhesives.
• Organic Synthesis: A valuable reagent for Friedel-Crafts acylation and other reactions to create complex organic molecules.
