2-Acetylphenanthrene(CAS#5960-69-0)

Introduction

2-Acetylphenanthrene is an organic compound. The following is an introduction to the properties, uses, preparation methods and safety information of 2-acetyl phenanthrene: Properties:- Appearance: 2-acetyl phenanthrene is a white solid. Uses:- Laboratory research: 2-acetylphenanthrene is commonly used in organic synthesis reactions and as a precursor for fluorescent probes. Method: 2-acetyl phenanthrene can be prepared by the following steps: take the required phenanthrene compound. Dissolve phenanthrene in an appropriate solvent, such as dimethylbenzene (o-Xylene), and add an appropriate acid catalyst, such as aluminum chloride (AlCl3). Add acetic anhydride or acetic anhydride as acetylation reagent. The reaction temperature is generally carried out at or slightly above room temperature. After leaving for a period of time, an appropriate solvent is added for extraction after the reaction is over. After the solvent is volatilized, 2-acetylphenanthrene can be obtained. Safety information: The safety and toxicity information of 2-acetylphenanthrene is scarce and has not been widely reported. It is an organic compound that is often manipulated in a chemistry laboratory. When in use, appropriate safety measures must be taken, such as wearing personal protective equipment (e.g., gloves, goggles, lab coats, etc.), operating in a well-ventilated area, and strict adherence to laboratory safety protocols.
