| | Benzylacetone Usage And Synthesis |
| Chemical Properties | has been identified
as a volatile component of cocoa. Benzylacetone is a sweet-floral-smelling
liquid, which can be prepared by selective hydrogenation of benzylidene acetone
(from benzaldehyde and acetone). It is used in soap perfumes. | | Chemical Properties | Clear colorless to pale yellowish liquid | | Uses | 4-Phenyl-2-butanone be used as an attractant for melon flies and as an odorant for soap. It is also used in the preparation of 4-oxocyclohexanecarbaldehyde derivatives. | | Uses | 4-Phenyl-2-butanone is an attractant compound found in the flower Nicotiana attenuata. It is also used in the preparation of 4-oxocyclohexanecarbaldehyde derivatives. | | Uses | 4-Phenyl-2-butanone may be used as an analytical standard for the determination of the analyte in volatile oils, as well as agarwood extracts of Aquilaria malaccensis, yeast cell culture, and biological samples by various chromatography based techniques. | | Synthesis Reference(s) | Chemical and Pharmaceutical Bulletin, 38, p. 2097, 1990 DOI: 10.1248/cpb.38.2097
