[Chemical Properties]
clear yellow liquid |
[Uses]
A metabolite of Lisdexamfetamine dimesylate. |
[Uses]

[Definition]
ChEBI: A propanone that is propan-2-one substituted by a phenyl group at position 1. |
[Production Methods]
1-Phenyl-2-propanone is produced by catalytic ketonization of phenylacetic acid with acetic acid over an alumina-supported cerium oxide catalyst at 400 – 500℃. It may also be produced by the rearrangement of phenylpropylene oxide on zeolites or oxidation of 2-phenylpropanol. |
