2-Acetylthiophene Chemical Properties,Uses,Production

Description

2-Acetylthiophene occurs naturally in kohlrabi. It has a sulfurous nutty hazelnut odor. It can be used as a food additive. It is also used as an intermediate to produce drugs, such as Tiamonium Iodide, Suprofan, Stepronin, Tenonitrozole, Namirotene, etc.

Chemical Properties

clear colorless to slightly yellow liquid

Uses

2-Acetylthiophene(2AT) is used as an intermediate in the manufacturing of drugs like Tiamonium Iodide, Suprofan, Stepronin, Tenonitrozole, Namirotene, etc. 2AT is used as an important precursor to thiophene-2-acetic acid (T2AA) or its acid chloride (Cl) and thiophene-2-carboxylic acid (T2CA) (Cl). It is important that the process used to synthesize 2AT yields the lowest amount of 3- acetylthiophene isomer.

Definition

ChEBI: 2-Acetylthiophene is an aromatic ketone.

Safety Profile

Poison by intraperitoneal route. A flammable liquid. When heated to decomposition emits toxic fumes of SOx,.

Solubility in organics

2-Acetylthiophene is miscible at 25°C with triethylene glycol, methanol, ethanol, n-butanol, diethyl ether, dioxane, cellulose butyl ester, ethyl acetate, acetone, acetonitrile, carbon disulphide, carbon tetrachloride, nitromethane, acetic acid, thiophene, tetranaphthalene, aminobenzene, and benzene . It is immiscible with water, glycerol, ethylene glycol, decahydronaphthalene, cyclohexane, diisobutylene, 1-hexadecene, and n-heptane. When equal volumes are mixed, 2-acetylthiophene is miscible with n-heptane above 60.8°C and with ethylene glycol above 31.1°C.

Purification Methods

Fractionally distil the thiophene through a 12-plate column, and fraction b 77o/4mm is collected. Also wet the acetylthiophene in order to remove and free thiophene which forms an azeotrope with H2O, b 68o. Store it in a brown bottle, and the clear colourless liquid remains thus for extended periods. [Kosak & Hartough Org Synth Coll Vol III 14 1955, Hartough & Kosak J Am Chem Soc 69 3093 1947.] The red 4-nitrophenylhydrazone crystallises from EtOH with m 181-182o. [Beilstein 17/9 V 387.]

Q:What is 2-Acetylthiophene used for?STAR - Nov 25,2025
A:2-Acetylthiophene is a multi-functional small-molecule compound that can react with various chemical reagents to synthesise other heterocyclic compounds, while also serving as a common subject for structural analysis research. It is widely employed in thermochemical, physical, molecular mechanics, and spectroscopic experimental studies. Under Vilsmeier reaction conditions, 2-acetylthiophene can be used to synthesise β-chloro-β-(2-thienyl)acrolein or N,N-dimethyl-2-thienylformamide. It may also react with phosphorus pentachloride to yield 2-(2-thienyl)-2-chloroethyl phosphonic acid.
