Acetophenone Usage And Synthesis |
General description | Acetophenone is also known as acetyl benzene with the boiling point (℃) being 202.3, relative density (water = 1) being 1.03 (20 ℃) and the relative vapor density (air = 1) being 4.14. It is the simplest aromatic ketones with its aromatic core (benzene ring) being directly connected with a carbonyl group. It is presented in some kinds of essential oils of some plants in its free-state form. It is pure colorless crystals. Most commercially available product appears as pale yellow oily liquid with hawthorn like aroma. It is only slightly soluble in water and is easily soluble in many organic solvents and can be evaporated together with the steam. The molecular structure of acetophenone: methyl C atom is bonded through sp3 hybrid orbital while the benzene ring and the carbonyl C atom are bonded through sp2 hybrid orbital. Addition reaction and [alpha] active hydrogen reaction can occur for the carbonyl group of acetophenone. It can also have electrophilic substitution reaction in its benzene ring with the major product generated being in the meta-position. Acetophenone can be produced from the reaction between benzene with acetyl chloride, acetic anhydride or acetate under the catalysis of aluminum trichloride. Furthermore, when ethylbenzene is catalyzed and oxidized into styrene, it can also generate acetophenone as by-product. Acetophenone is mainly used as the raw materials for pharmaceuticals and other kind of organic synthesis. It can also used for the preparation of spices, soap and cigarettes as well as being used as the solvents of cellulose ether, cellulose ester and resin and plasticizer. It has hypnotic effect. Currently, acetophenone is mostly obtained via the by-product of reaction between phenol and acetone via cumene oxidation. It may be obtained through the acetylation on benzene through acetyl chloride. |
Preparation of acetophenone |
Instruments and medicines Drugs: acetic anhydride, benzene, magnesium sulfate, sodium hydroxide, aluminum chloride, hydrochloride; Instrument: dropping funnel, round bottom flask, condenser pipe, distillation device, drying pipe, and stirring apparatus. [Processing Steps] To a 100 mL three-necked flask equipped with 10 ml pressure-equalizing dropping funnel, a mechanical stirrer and a reflux condenser (the upper termini is connected with a hydrogen chloride gas absorption device via a calcium chloride drying tube), add rapidly of 13 g (0.097mol) of anhydrous powdered aluminum trichloride and 16 ml (about 14g, 0.18mol) of anhydrous benzene. Under stirring, add 4 mL (about 4.3g, 0.04mol) of acetic anhydride from a dropping funnel drop wise to a three-necked flask (first add few drops and continue the dropping after the occurrence of the reaction). It is recommended to make the three-necked flask a bit heat through controlling the dropping rate of the acetic anhydride. After the completion of the addition process (about 10 min), stir and reflux in the boiling water bath until the reaction becomes a bit moderate until no more hydrogen chloride gas is released. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature. Upon stirring, pour the reaction mixture to a beaker containing 18 mL of hydrochloric acid and 30 g of broken ices (in a fume hood), and if there is still solid insolubles, you can supplement an appropriate amount of concentrated hydrochloric acid to make it be completely dissolved. The mixture was transferred to a separatory funnel with the organic layer being separated (which one ) and the aqueous layer was extracted twice with benzene (per 8ml). Combine the organic layers and successively wash with 15 mL of 10% sodium hydroxide, 15 ml of water and dry with anhydrous magnesium sulfate. First distill for recycle of benzene in a water bath and then heat in the asbestos-free wire gauze residual to remove the benzene. After the cooling, change to the air condenser (Why ) Distill to collect the fraction of 195 ~ 202 ℃ with the yield being about 4.1 g (yield: 85%) . The pure product of acetophenone appears as colorless transparent oily liquid. [Precautions] 1, the time for adding drop wise of the mixture of acetophenone and acetic anhydride should be 10 min; the temperature is difficult to be controlled if the drops rate is too fast. 2, the quality of the anhydrous aluminum chloride is the key for the success of this experiment opening the lid with the white powder can release a lot of smoke with no agglomeration being good. If most of the fraction turns yellow, this means that it has been already degraded and can’t not been used any more. 3, AlCl3 needs to be crushed with rapid speed. 4, upon the addition of dilute HCl, slowly drop at the beginning and then drop faster gradually; the amount of the dilute HCl (1: 1, pre-prepared) should be about 140ml. 5, the absorption apparatus: about 20% sodium hydroxide solution, self-made, 200mL, pay special attention to the prevention of suck-buck. 6, it is better to use analytically pure benzene and should be preferably dried by sodium silk for 24 hours or more. 7, the small amount of water in the crude product is distilled out together with benzene as an azeotrope during the process of distillation with the azeotropic point being 69.4 °C. This is also one of the methods for drying a liquid compound. The above information is edited by the chemicalbook of Dai Xiongfeng. |
Characterization of acetophenone production via acylation reaction of Friedel-Craffs |
1, the catalyst (aluminum trichloride) used in the acylation greatly exceeds the amount of the catalyst used in the alkylation reaction, the resulting acetophenone can form complex with an equivalent amount of aluminum chloride while by-product acetic acid formed in the reaction can also form salt with an equivalent of aluminum chloride. Therefore, during the acylation reaction, one molecule of acid anhydride can consume two or more molecules of aluminum chloride. 2, acetophenone/aluminum chloride complex formed during the reaction is stable in anhydrous medium, only when the reaction mixture undergoes hydrolysis, the complex is destroyed with precipitating acetophenone. After the aluminum chloride forms complex with acetophenone, it no longer participates in the reaction, therefore, the amount of aluminum chloride should meet the requirement that: after the formation of complex, there still remains certain part as the catalyst of the acylation reaction. 3, since the aluminum chloride can form a complex with substance containing a carboxyl group, the raw material, acetic anhydride can also form molecular complex with aluminum chloride and no longer participate in the reaction, meaning that acetic anhydride can’t been quantitatively converted to acetophenone; Furthermore, in the reaction, when the amount of aluminum chloride is in excess, it can act as the acylating agent for making the acetate into acetyl chloride to participate into the reaction. 4, in the reaction system, the amount of benzene is also in large excess because the benzene is not only the reactant but also the solvent in the reaction, therefore, only the yield of acetyl can be used as the reference reagent. 5, the characteristics of the acylation reaction: pure product, high yield (since acyl does not have isomerization, nor has multiple substitution) |

Production method | Under the catalysis of aluminum trichloride, we can use benzene for reaction with acetyl chloride, acetic anhydride or acetic acid to obtain acetophenone. In addition, in the catalytic oxidation of ethylbenzene to styrene, acetophenone is generated as the byproduct. Industrial grade acetophenone contains main impurities such as α-methylbenzyl alcohol, phenols, acids, and water. The industrial grade product and be refined through drying with calcium chloride and sulfuric acid and further vacuum distillation after the drying. Alternatively, it can also be subject to fractional crystallization refinement from the molten state in the condition of avoiding light and moisture. We can also use pentane for crystallization and refinement in low temperature. Fixed material consumption: benzoic acid: 1130kg / t, acetic acid 555kg / t. |
