Uses
Acetophenone (CAS NO.98-86-2) is used as precursor to resins and styrene. It also is used in pharmaceutical and related areas. Acetophenone is a raw material for the synthesis of some pharmaceuticals. Acetophenone is used to create fragrances that resemble almond, cherry, honeysuckle, jasmine, and strawberry.
Production
In industry, acetophenone is recovered as a by-product of the oxidation of ethylbenzene, which mainly gives ethylbenzene hydroperoxide for use in the production of propylene oxide.

Specification
Acetophenone (CAS NO.98-86-2) is also named as 1-Phenyl-1-ethanone ; 1-Phenylethanone ; AI3-00575 ; Acetofenon ; Acetofenon [Czech] ; Acetophenon ; Acetylbenzene ; Acetylbenzol ; Benzene, acetyl- ; Benzoyl methide ; Benzoylmethide ; CCRIS 1341 ; Ethanone, 1-phenyl- ; FEMA No. 2009 ; FEMA Number 2009 ; HSDB 969 ; Hypnone ; Ketone, methyl phenyl ; Methyl phenyl ketone ; NSC 7635 ; Phenyl methyl ketone ; RCRA waste number U004 ; UNII-RK493WHV10 ; USAF EK-496 . Acetophenone (CAS NO.98-86-2) is yellow liquid with a sweet pungent taste. It is slightly soluble in water. Vapor heavier than air. A mild irritant to skin and eyes. Vapors can be narcotic in high concentrations. Acetophenone reacts with many acids and bases liberating heat and flammable gases (e.g., H2). Reacts with many oxidizing agents. Reacts with reducing agents such as hydrides, alkali metals, and nitrides to produce flammable gas (H2) and heat. The amount of heat in these reactions may be sufficient to start a fire in the unreacted portion. It ia incompatible with isocyanates, aldehydes, cyanides, peroxides, and anhydrides. No toxicity expected from inhalation or ingestion except slight narcotic effect. Liquid can cause eye and skin irritation on contact.
