127-47-9 Usage
Description
Retinyl acetate (retinol acetate, vitamin A acetate) is a natural form of vitamin A. It is the acetate ester of retinol. It consists of yellow crystals which are greasy or sticky. It has a mild, characteristic odor. It has potential antineoplastic and chemo-preventive activities. It can be used to fortify food with vitamin A. As vitamin A acetate can induce cell differentiation and inhibit cell proliferation, it is used in skin-conditioning agent.

Uses
Different sources of media describe the Uses of 127-47-9 differently. You can refer to the following data:
1. vitamin precursor
2. Essential micronutrient
3. Retinyl acetate has been used: a control diet to study its effect at different developmental periods in fish larvae to study its inhibitory effects on Mycobacterium avium?subspecies?paratuberculosis?(MAP) strains as an internal standard in high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to quantify vitamin A in fortified milk
General Description
Retinyl acetate is suitable for use in the retention identification of the analyte when using HPLC and GC. Not intended for use as an activity reference standard. It has been thoroughly evaluated to ensure the utmost quality. Neat, unless otherwise noted. Certificate of Composition provided with the purchase.
Flammability and Explosibility
Notclassified
Biochem/physiol Actions
Retinyl esters provide pools of vitamin A that are converted into retinol and other retinoids as required. Retinyl acetate is used in a wide range of biological applications. It acts as a chemopreventive agent. Retinyl acetate also has antineoplastic property.
Safety Profile
Moderately toxic by
ingestion. Experimental teratogenic and
reproductive effects. Questionable
carcinogen with experimental neoplastigenic
data. Mutation data reported. When heated
to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and
irritating fumes. See also VITAMIN A.
Purification Methods
The acetate is separated from retinol by column chromatography, then crystallised from MeOH. [Kofler and Rubin Vitamins and Hormones (NY) 18 315 1960 for purification methods]. Store it in the dark, under N2 or Ar, at 0o. [Beilstein 6 IV 4135.]
Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 127-47-9 includes 6 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 3 digits, 1,2 and 7 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 4 and 7 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 127-47:
(5*1)+(4*2)+(3*7)+(2*4)+(1*7)=49
49 % 10 = 9
So 127-47-9 is a valid CAS Registry Number.

PROCESS FOR PRODUCTION OF NEW SULFOLENIC INTERMEDIATES
-
Page/Page column 12, (2021/10/11)
The present invention relates to a new process for the production of new specific intermediates, which are preferably used in the production of vitamin A, vitamin A acetate, or β-carotene and derivatives thereof, e.g. canthaxanthin, astaxanthin or zeaxanthin.
Preparation method of vitamin A acetate
-
, (2021/03/11)
The invention provides a preparation method of vitamin A acetate, which comprises the following steps: reacting bromoethanol with acetone to obtain a ketal compound, preparing a Grignard reagent fromthe ketal compound, reacting the Grignard reagent with C5 aldehyde to obtain heptanol, reacting the heptanol with triphenylphosphine to prepare heptacarbon phosphine salt, and further reacting the heptacarbon phosphine salt with ionone to obtain the vitamin A acetate. According to the present invention, a C13 + C7 vitamin A acetate synthesis route is provided, such that the yield of the vitamin Aacetate is improved, the process cost is reduced, and the industrial production is easily achieved.
