Description

1-(4-Methoxyphenyl)acetophenone is an enantiomer of the naturally occurring compound melatonin. It has been shown to have insecticidal activities and is effective against insects at temperatures below 10°C. 1-(4-Methoxyphenyl)acetophenone undergoes a cyclodehydration reaction with loss of water and formation of a six-membered ring, which is catalysed by acid, inorganic bases, or metal salts. This reaction can be modified by substituting diacids, halides, or electrolysing agents for water. The resulting products are unsymmetrical and soluble in organic solvents.
