Application
Acetone may be employed in the following studies:
• As organic solvent to investigate the zeta potential of TiO2 and Al2O3 powders.1
• Synthesis of poly(ortho esters) (POE), biodegradable carriers for drug delivery devices.2
• Spectrophotometric determination of ester groups in lipids.3
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 .
General description
Photocatalytic activity of mixtures of TiO2 (P25) with rare earth oxides for the oxidation of acetone has been reported.4
The vapor-phase aldol condensation of acetone over MgO promoted with
alkali (Li, Na, K and Cs) or alkaline earth (Ca, Sr and Ba) metal ions
has been studied.5 Acetone undergoes Aldol condensation in the presence of catalysts Mg-Al layered double hydroxides (LDH) and Cl- and/or CO32- as compensating anions to afford diacetone alcohol and mesityl oxide.6 Enantioselective Aldol condensation of acetone with several isatins has been described.7
