Uses

P-hydroxyacetophenone itself is a choleretic drug, often used as an auxiliary drug for the treatment of cholecystitis and acute and chronic jaundice hepatitis, but the application must be in accordance with the doctor’s advice. In addition, p-hydroxyacetophenone is also a raw material for fine chemical synthesis, and is mostly used in the synthesis of spices.

Production

The production of p-hydroxyacetophenone uses phenol as a raw material, and is obtained by acylation and transposition. Mix phenol and acetyl chloride, slowly heat until no hydrogen chloride is discharged to prepare phenyl acetate, add it to nitrobenzene, add aluminum trichloride after cooling, stir for 2-3 hours, then pour into cold water, add 1: 3 hydrochloric acid until it is cool, extract with ether, distill the ether from the extract, distill nitrobenzene and the by-product o-hydroxyacetophenone by steam distillation, and leave the p-hydroxyacetophenone in the residue. The product is obtained by extraction and recrystallization.
