Chemical properties |
It appears as white
needle crystal or granular solid, exhibiting raspberry aroma and fruit aroma.
The melting point temperature is 82~83 °C. It is insoluble in water and oil,
being soluble in alcohol, ether and volatile oil. |
Uses |
1. Raspberry Ketone
is used in the preparation of food spices with sweetening effect, can also be
used for cosmetics and soap flavor. |
Description |
4-(p-Hydroxyphenyl)-2-butanone has a sweet, fruity, raspberry preserves odor. May be prepared by catalytic hydrogenation of phydroxy-benzylidene acetone in the presence of platinum black in ether or methanol or in the presence of palladium absorbed on charcoal. |
Chemical Properties |
4-(p-Hydroxyphenyl)-2-butanone has a sweet, fruity, raspberry preserves–type odor. |
Chemical Properties |
4-(4-Hydroxyphenyl)-2-butanone is a highly characteristic component of raspberry aroma. It forms colorless crystals (mp 82–83°C) with a sweet, fruity odor strongly reminiscent of raspberries. Raspberry ketone is prepared by alkali-catalyzed condensation of the alkali salt of 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde and acetone, followed by selective hydrogenation of the double bond in the resulting 4-hydroxybenzalacetone. Other syntheses start from phenol, which is converted into 4-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-butanone with methyl vinyl ketone or with 4-hydroxy-2-butanone. |
Chemical Properties |
white to slightly yellow powder or needles |
Uses |
The primary aroma compound of red raspberries, used in perfume compositions, shampoos, cosmetics and as a food additive. Also an impurity in the synthesis of Dobutamine (D494445). |
Uses |
Intermediates of Liquid Crystals |
Definition |
ChEBI: A ketone that is 4-phenylbutan-2-one in which the phenyl ring is substituted at position 4 by a hydroxy group. It is found in a variety of fruits including raspberries, blackberries and cranberries, and is used in perfumery and cosmetics. |
Taste threshold values |
Taste characteristics at 40 ppm: fruity, jamy, berry, raspberry, and blueberry with seedy, cotton candy nuances |
Safety Profile |
Poison by intraperitoneal route. Moderately toxic by ingestion. Flammable liquid. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes. See also KETONES. |
