Question

how you will convert Acetic Acid to acetophenone​

Answer 1

Answer:

How do you convert acetic acid into acetone?

What are some of the fascinating questions asked by BYJU’S students?

Most of our students are forever curious to know more about how their teachers were as students. In fact, it is quite normal.

Dear, a simple method to synthesize acetone is oxidation of secondary alcohol. so simply you have to convert acetic acid in 2-Propanol by simple reactions mentioned below-

Reduction of acetic acid into alcohol .

oxide this ethanol to acetaldehyde (PCC or CrO3 as a oxidising agent)

Now with acetaldehyde rection of methyl magnesium bromide followed by acidic hydrolysis. This will give rise to 2-Propanol.

From 2-Propanol formation of acetone becomes easier by simple mild oxidation (PCC or CrO3 as oxidising agent).

Answer 2

QUESTION:-

how you will convert Acetic Acid to acetophenone

ANSWER:-

Pure Acetic Acid is a colourless liquid with a decisive corrosive pungent odour and it has an element of flavour and is highly mixable in water.

Acetophenone is a colourless volatile fluid with a pleasant and fruity odour it is readily soluble in water, ethanol, ether, etc. and it fulfils as a valuable solvent.

Conversation Of Acetic Acid To Acetophenone

• Acetic acid is initially converted into calcium salt (CH3COO)2Ca while neutralizing it with quick lime Ca(OH)2.

• Calcium acetate (CH3COO)2Ca on dry distillation results in Acetophenone through the process of decomposition.

• Acetophenone C3H6O is mostly prepared in the laboratory by the Calcium Acetate (CH3COO)2Ca dry distillation.
