arylketonproduct
An arylketonprodukt, or aryl ketone product, is a compound in which a ketone functional group is directly attached to an aryl ring. The aryl fragment is typically a phenyl group or a substituted phenyl, and the carbonyl carbon bears another substituent such as an alkyl or aryl group (Ar-CO-R). Aryl ketones are widespread in organic synthesis and in various consumer products.
Representative examples include acetophenone (1-phenylethanone), where Ar is phenyl and R is methyl; propiophenone (1-phenyl-1-propanone), with
Main preparation methods encompass Friedel–Crafts acylation of arenes with acyl chlorides or anhydrides in the presence
As reactive carbonyl compounds, aryl ketones participate in typical ketone chemistry: nucleophilic addition to the carbonyl,
Applications and safety notes vary by substituents. Benzophenone derivatives are used as UV absorbers in polymers
