Description

2-Acetoxyacetophenone is a liquid that is soluble in alcohols and ethers. It is obtained by oxidation of acetophenone with an oxidant such as potassium dichromate and sulfuric acid. This reaction also produces hydrogen peroxide as a byproduct. The product can be purified by distillation or extraction with organic solvents. 2-Acetoxyacetophenone is used to prepare acacetin, which is an aromatic ester that can be used as a solvent for paints and varnishes, lacquers, dyes, and other organic materials. Acetoxyacetophenone has been postulated to react with anthracene to form alkyl substituents via the acylation reaction. The carbonyl group present in 2-acetoxyacetophenone reacts with hydroxyacetophenone to produce 2-hydroxyacetophenone and carbon dioxide gas, which then reacts further with hydroxyacetophenone to produce 2
