• Description: 4-tert-Butylacetophenone is an organic compound that is used to synthesize a variety of derivatives. It has been shown to have anticancer activity in vitro and in vivo, as well as antiviral activity against human pathogens. 4-tert-Butylacetophenone has also been shown to be active against Trichophyton mentagrophytes, a fungus that causes athlete's foot, and Cryptococcus neoformans, which is a pathogenic yeast that causes cryptococcal meningitis. The synthesis of 4-tert-butylacetophenone begins with the reaction of phosphorus pentoxide with a molecule of acetic acid in the presence of water. This reaction produces water and trichloroacetic acid as byproducts. The chloride ion then reacts with the trichloroacetic acid to form 4-tert-butylchloroacetic acid, which can then be reacted with phosphorous pentoxide again to
