These are aromatic compounds containing a ketone substituted by one alkyl group, and a phenyl group. The chemical formula of acetophenone is C6H5C(O)CH3. It is the simplest aromatic ketone. This colourless, viscous liquid is a precursor to useful resins and fragrances. Acetophenone is used as a flavouring ingredient for fruit flavours and as a leavening agent. Acetophenone is also the starting material for the synthesis of some pharmaceuticals and is listed as an approved excipient by the U.S. FDA. Acetophenone is currently listed as a Group D carcinogen indicating that it does not produce carcinogenic effects in humans. In a 1994 report released by five top cigarette companies in the U.S., acetophenone was listed as one of the 599 additives to cigarettes. Acetophenone is found in many foods, some of which are chicory, spearmint, watermelon, rocket salad, and pepper (spice), apple, cheese, apricot, banana, beef, and cauliflower. α-acetophenone 1-Phenyl-1-ethanone 1-Phenyl-ethanone 1-phenylethan-1-one 1-Phenylethanone 1-Phenylethanone (acetophenone) 1-Phenylethanone, 9CI Acetofenon Acetophenon Acetyl-benzene Acetylbenzene Acetylbenzol alpha-Acetophenone Benzene, acetyl- Benzoyl methide Benzoylmethide Dymex Ethanone, 1-phenyl- FEMA 2009 Hypnon Hypnone Ketone, methyl phenyl Ketone, methyl phenyl- Methyl phenyl ketone Methyl phenyl-ketone Methylphenylketone nchem.180-comp5 Phenyl Phenyl methyl ketone Phenylethanone Phenylmethylketone C8H8O 120.1485 120.057514878 1-phenylethan-1-one acetophenone 98-86-2 CC(=O)C1=CC=CC=C1 InChI=1S/C8H8O/c1-7(9)8-5-3-2-4-6-8/h2-6H,1H3 KWOLFJPFCHCOCG-UHFFFAOYSA-N belongs to the class of organic compounds known as alkyl-phenylketones.
