General description
Acetone is an organic solvent widely used in the polymer and pharmaceutical industry. It is found in mammalian tissues as a by-product of metalbolism.1 Its anticonvulsant property has been studied. Acetone in combination with tetraalkylammonium chloride forms an efficient solvent system for dissolving cellulose. P84 (polyimide membrane)/TAEA (tripodal amine (tris(2-aminoethyl)amine) cross-linked asymmetric flat sheet membranes based pervaporation for the dehydration of acetone has been reported. A recent study reports the photolysis of acetone vapors in a titanium dioxide (TiO2) photocatalyst immobilized, UV irradiated reactor.
Application
Acetone may be employed in the following studies:
- As a precursor for the synthesis of methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK) in the presence of sulfonated graphene oxide-Pd/cordierite catalyst.
- Synthesis of (4-hydroxymethyl-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolane), a solketal from glycerol using supercritical fluids (SCF) technology.
- As a starting material to synthesize methyl methacrylate.1
- 1-isopropylidene-2-methylhydrazine
- 1-isopropylidene-2-hydroxyethylhydrazine
- 1-isopropylidene-2-formylhydrazine
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 .

Acetone containing tetraalkylammonium chloride is found to be an efficient solvent for cellulose. The addition of an amount of 10 mol% (based on acetone) of well-soluble salt triethyloctylammonium chloride (Et3 OctN Cl) adjusts the solvent's properties (increases the polarity) to
