Wholesale 3'-Hydroxyacetophenone CAS:121-71-1 Manufacturers, Exporter

Product Introduction

3-Hydroxyacetophenone has the typical properties of phenolic hydroxyl and carbonyl groups. Phenolic hydroxyl groups have a certain acidity and can react with bases. They can also undergo characteristic reactions of phenols, such as a color reaction with ferric chloride solution to produce a purple color. Carbonyl groups can undergo addition reactions, reduction reactions, etc. For example, they react with hydroxylamine to form oximes, and react with reducing agents such as sodium borohydride to reduce carbonyl groups to hydroxyl groups.
