General description

Acetone is the most widely used solvent for cleaning purposes. It is also used as a precursor in the manufacture of polymers, bisphenol A, and methyl methacrylate.

Application

Acetone can be used as a solvent in the:
  • Ozonolysis of alkenes to aldehydes or ketones in the presence of solubilized water.
  • Catalyst-free glycerolysis of sunflower oil to synthesize partial glycerides.
  • Free radical polymerization of styrene to synthesize polystyrene.
  • Lipase-catalyzed esterification of isoascorbic acid with palmitic acid to form isoascorbyl palmitate.
Acetone′s luminesence intensity is dependent upon the solution components . The absorption of UV light by acetone, results in its photolysis and the production of radials .

Features and Benefits

  • Relatively low toxicity compared to other industrial solvents
  • Highly volatile
  • Ozone-stable solvent

The aaoSo gene from Streptococcus oligofermentans encodes a 43 kDa flavoprotein, aminoacetone oxidase (SoAAO), which was reported to possess a low catalytic activity against several different L-amino acids; accordingly, it was classified as an L-amino acid oxidase. Subsequently, SoAAO was demonstrated
