Chemical Properties
Liquid colorless to yellow
Uses
β-Tetralone is the 2-keto derivative of Tetralin. β-Tetralone was initially reported to be a metabolite of Tetralin but was later found to be just an artifact in the metabolism process. β-Tetralone is known to be biological marker in fossil fuels.

Purification Methods
If reasonably pure, then fractionate it through an efficient column. Otherwise purify it via the bisulfite adduct. To a solution of NaHSO3 (32.5g, 0.31mol) in H2O (57mL) is added 95% EtOH (18mL) and set aside overnight. Any bisulfite-sulfate that separated is removed by filtration, and the filtrate is added to the tetralone (14.6g, 0.1mol) and shaken vigorously. The adduct separates in a few minutes as a white precipitate and is kept on ice for ~3.5hours with occasional shaking. The precipitate is collected, washed with 95% EtOH (13mL), then with Et2O (4 x 15mL, by stirring the suspension in the solvent, filtering and repeating the process). The colourless product is dried in air and stored in air tight containers in which it is stable for extended periods (yield is ~17g). This bisulfite (5g) is suspended in H2O (25mL), and Na2CO3.H2O (7.5g) is added (pH of solution is ~10). The mixture is then extracted with Et2O (5 x 10mL, i.e. until the aqueous phase does not test for tetralone — see below). Wash the combined extracts with 10% aqueous HCl (10mL), H2O (10mL, i.e. until the washings are neutral), dry (MgSO4), filter, evaporate and distil the residual oil using a Claisen flask under reduced pressure and in a N2 atmosphere. The pure tetralone is a colourless liquid b 70-71o/0.25mm (see also above). The yield is ~2g. Tetralone test: Dissolve a few drops of the tetralone solution (ethereal or aqueous) in 95% EtOH in a test tube and add 10 drops of 25% NaOH down the side of the tube. A deep blue colour develops at the interface with air. [Soffer et al. Org Synth Coll Vol IV 903 1963, Cornforth et al. J Chem Soc 689 1942, UV: Soffer et al.

Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 530-93-8 includes 6 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 3 digits, 5,3 and 0 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 9 and 3 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 530-93:
(5*5)+(4*3)+(3*0)+(2*9)+(1*3)=58
58 % 10 = 8
So 530-93-8 is a valid CAS Registry Number.

The development of mild and efficient process for the selective oxidation of organic compounds by molecular oxygen (O2) can be one of the key technologies for synthesizing oxygenates. This paper discloses an efficient and mild synthesis protocol for the O2-involved ethylbenzene (EB) photooxidation triggered by 910-dihydroanthracene (DHA) auto- photooxidation in acetone under visible light illumination, which can achieve 87.7 percent EB conversion and 99.5 percent acetylacetone (ACP) selectivity under ambient conditions. Also, 62.9 percent EB conversion and 96.3 percent ACP selectivity is obtained in air atmosphere. Furthermore, this protocol has a good adaptability for the photooxidation of other organic substrates such as tetrahydronaphthalene, diphenylmethane, toluene, cyclohexane, cyclohexene, alcohol, methylfuran and thioether to their corresponding oxygenates. A series of control and quenching tests, combined with EPR spectra, suggest that the photo-excited DHA can transfer its photo-electron to O2 to yield a superoxide radical anion (O2??), then DHA is preferentially oxidized to anthraquinone (AQ) by the active O2?? owing to its high reactivity. Finally, the in situ generated AQ as an active photo-catalyst can achieve the photooxidation of EB and other organic compounds by O2. The present photo-autoxidation protocol gives a good example for the O2-based selective oxidation of inert hydrocarbons under mild conditions.

An efficient nickel(ii)-catalyzed transfer dehydrogenation oxidation of alcohols is reported that relies on cyclohexanone as the formal oxidant and does not require the use of an external base. The synthetic utility of this protocol is demonstratedviathe facile oxidation of structurally complicated natural products.
