Irisone Uses
BETA-IONONE, a large number used in the production of
VITAMIN A; E and carotene.
It is used is used in perfumery, flavoring, and
VITAMIN A (retinol) production for cosmetics and toiletries.
BETA-IONONE has good substantivity and is used in all areas of perfumery.
Irisone Production
From Boronia megastigma volatile oil seeds were isolated. Chemical synthesis can be used citral with
ACETONE condensation Preparation : citral with
ACETONE in dilute caustic soda solution condensation, and then sulfate or phosphate part of α-; Β -
IONONE. Separation of α-β after that body. Also available
ISOBUTENE with vinyl methyl ketone Preparation. Also false
IONONE nitrate role in a ring under preparation.
