Acetic acetophenone

The reference cited [5] also gives procedures for related magnesiations of other carboxylic acids, phenylacetronitrile, t-butyl acetate, acetophenone, methyl phenyl sulfone, and diethyl phenyl-methanephosphonate. 

Reactions were czirried out in degassed benzene solution, and for some experiments with vinyl acetate, acetophenone was added as a sensitizer. 

Enols are more reactive than ketones and acids accelerate enolization of ketones. Therefore, in the presence of acids and oxidizing ions, oxidation of ketone proceeds via its enolic form. Kooymen and coworkers [171,172] have found that, at 130° C in the presence of manganese acetate, acetophenone oxidizes in acetic and butyric acids at a rate equal to that of enolization. A linear dependence of log k on a (p = —0.7) was observed for the oxidation of a number of substituted acetophenones. The proposed mechanism is...

The radiation-initiated polymerization of vinylidene fiuoride is used on a laboratory scale only. The effect of polymerization conditions on the chain defects, content, and changes in the crystalline phases have been studied [528,536,537,544]. Doll and Lando [544] used a °Co source with an average dose rate of 0.33 Mrad/h. The polymerization was carried out between 0 and 400 °C at a pressure equal to the vapor pressure of the solvent-vinylidene fluoride mixture. Esters and ketones (acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, ethyl acetate, acetophenone), DMF, DMSO, and y-butyrolactone were used as solvents. All these solvents are good chain-transfer agents for vinylidene fluoride. The molding characteristics of the resulting polymers were very poor and the intrinsic viscosity of the sample polymerized in acetone solution was low (0.183 dL/g) compared to that of a suspension-polymerized polymer (1.68 dL/g) [544].

Aldehydes and ketones may frequently be identified by their semicarbazones, obtained by direct condensation with semicarbazide (or amino-urea), NH,NHCONH a compound which is a monacidic base and usually available as its monohydrochloride, NHjCONHNH, HCl. Semicarbazones are particularly useful for identification of con jounds (such as acetophenone) of which the oxime is too soluble to be readily isolated and the phenylhydrazone is unstable moreover, the high nitrogen content of semicarbazones enables very small quantities to be accurately analysed and so identified. The general conditions for the formation of semicarbazones are very similar to those for oximes and phenylhydrazones (pp. 93, 229) the free base must of course be liberated from its salts by the addition of sodium acetate. 

Required Semicarbazide hydrochloride, i g. anhydrous sodium acetate, 0-9 g. acetophenone, i ml. 

Add first I g. of powdered semicarbazide hydrochloride and then 0 9 g. of anhydrous sodium acetate (or 1-25 g. of the crystalline acetate) to 5 ml. of water, and warm gently until a clear solution is obtained. Then add a solution of i ml. (i g.) of acetophenone in 5 ml. of rectified spirit, and warm the mixed solutions gently on a water-bath for... 

The Fischer Indolisation Reaction occurs when the phenylhydrazone of a suitable aldehyde or ketone undergoes cyclisation with loss of ammonia, under the influence of various reagents, such as zinc chloride, ethnnolic hydrogen chloride, or acetic acid. For example, the phenylhydrazone of acetophenone (p. 257) when heated with zinc chloride gives 2 phenylindole. ... 

Then add 3 drops of acetophenone (or about 0 3 g. of powdered benzo-phenone dissolved in 1 ml. of acetic acid) and shake the mixture. A precipitate of the phenylhydrazone is produced on scratching.

The ketones are readily prepared, for example, acetophenone from benzene, acetyl chloride (or acetic anhydride) and aluminium chloride by the Friedel and Crafts reaction ethyl benzyl ketones by passing a mixture of phenylacetic acid and propionic acid over thoria at 450° and n-propyl- p-phenylethylketone by circulating a mixture of hydrocinnamic acid and n-butyric acid over thoria (for further details, see under Aromatic Ketones, Sections IV,136, IV,137 and IV,141).

Acetanilide from acetophenone. Dissolve 12 g. of acetophenone in 100 ml. of glacial acetic acid containing 10 g. of concentrated sulphuric acid. To the stirred solution at 60-70°, add 9 8 g. of sodium azide in small portions at such a rate that the temperature does not rise above 70°. Stir the mixture with gentle heating until the evolution of nitrogen subsides (2-3 hours) and then allow to stand overnight at room temperature. Pour the reaction mixture on to 300 g. of crushed ice, filter the solid product, wash it with water and dry at 100°. The yield of crude acetanilide, m.p. 111-112°, is 13 g. Recrystallisation from water raises the m.p. to 114°. 

Various 4-, 5-, or 4,5-disubstituted 2-aryIamino thiazoles (124), R, = QH4R with R = 0-, m-, or p-Me, HO C, Cl, Br, H N, NHAc, NR2, OH, OR, or OjN, were obtained by condensing the corresponding N-arylthiourea with chloroacetone (81, 86, 423), dichloroacetone (510, 618), phenacyichloride or its p-substituted methyl, f-butyl, n-dodecyl or undecyl (653), or 2-chlorocyclohexanone (653) (Method A) or with 2-butanone (423), acetophenone or its p-substituted derivatives (399, 439), ethyl acetate (400), ethyl acetyl propionate (621), a- or 3-unsaturated ketones (691), benzylidene acetone, furfurylidene acetone, and mesityl oxide in the presence of Btj or Ij as condensing agent (Method B) (Table 11-17). 

Acetic anhydride can be used to synthesize methyl ketones in Friedel-Crafts reactions. For example, benzene [71-43-2] can be acetylated to furnish acetophenone [98-86-2]. Ketones can be converted to their enol acetates and aldehydes to their alkyUdene diacetates. Acetaldehyde reacts with acetic anhydride to yield ethyhdene diacetate [542-10-9] (18) ... 

Friedel-Crafts Acylation. The Friedel-Crafts acylation procedure is the most important method for preparing aromatic ketones and thein derivatives. Acetyl chloride (acetic anhydride) reacts with benzene ia the presence of aluminum chloride or acid catalysts to produce acetophenone [98-86-2], CgHgO (1-phenylethanone). Benzene can also be condensed with dicarboxyHc acid anhydrides to yield benzoyl derivatives of carboxyHc acids. These benzoyl derivatives are often used for constmcting polycycHc molecules (Haworth reaction). For example, benzene reacts with succinic anhydride ia the presence of aluminum chloride to produce P-benzoylpropionic acid [2051-95-8] which is converted iato a-tetralone [529-34-0] (30).

From benzaldehyde, acetophenone, and hydrogen chloride in glacial acetic acid. Straus and Grindel, Ann. 439, 276 (1924). 

The present procedure was developed from those of Wallach and Freylon, based upon the general method discovered by Leuckart. a-Phenylethylamine also can be prepared satisfactorily by the reduction of acetophenone oxime with sodium and absolute alcohol or sodium amalgam, but the reagents are more expensive and the processes less convenient. The amine has been obtained by reducing acetophenone oxime electro-lytically, by reducing acetophenone phenylhydrazone with sodium amalgam and acetic acid, from a-phenylethyl bromide and hexamethylenetetramine, and by the action of methyl-magnesium iodide upon hydrobenzamide, as well as by other methods of no preparative value. 

The results from the overload of the more polar solute are similar to that for the aromatic hydrocarbons, but the effect of the overloaded peak on the other two appears to be somewhat less. It is seen that there is little change in the retention of anisole and acetophenone, although the band width of acetophenone shows a slight increase. The band width of benzyl acetate shows the expected band broadening... 

Both types of processes, 7r -assisted y, -bond cleavage and P -bonding, have been invoked to operate in the phototransformations of the aldehyde-ketone (153) to products (155), (156) and (158). The conversions have been observed at room temperature in dioxane, t-butanol, ethanol and benzene using light of wavelengths 2537 A or above 3100 A or sensitization by acetophenone. The phosphorescing excited triple state of (153) is very similar to that of testosterone acetate (114), but its reactions are too rapid...
