Synthesis precursor :

Acetophenone is used for the synthesis of Phenyl Ethyl Alcohol.

Natural availability :

Acetophenone can be found in Cistus EO, and in the scent principle of Cocoa Absolute, beef, concord grapes and raspberry among others.

Synthesis route :

Acetophenone is obtained by synthesis in the Hock process, or cumene-phenol process. It is recovered as a by-product of this reaction, by distillation of the reaction medium, having a high boiling point. This process consists in synthesizing phenol from benzene, propylene and oxygen. It is also used to synthesize cumene (by-product) and acetone (final product).
