Acetophenone is one of the simplest aromatic ketones, appearing as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive aroma reminiscent of hawthorn or almonds. It is an important organic synthesis intermediate and fragrance raw material, primarily produced on a large scale through reactions such as Friedel-Crafts acylation of benzene with acetyl chloride or acetic anhydride. Industrially, it is mainly used to synthesize resin monomers like styrene and α-methylstyrene, as well as in the production of fragrances and pharmaceuticals (e.g., sleep aids). Additionally, it serves as a solvent, photoinitiator, and catalyst for polymerization reactions, with a wide range of applications.
