Use
Propiophenone belongs to the family of acetophenones, which is present in some certain cheese, coffee and coffee products, tea and roasted nuts with sweet-smelling odor. It is wisely used as an intermediate in the preparation of other organic compounds, such as synthetic aryl alkenes, like cinnamic acids. It is also a useful intermediate for pharmaceuticals production, such as ephedrine, propiophenone derivatives (cathinone and methcathinone), and especially for the preparation of nervous system drugs (anxiolytic and hypnotic drugs). Besides, due to its naturally pleasant flowery odor, propiophenone can be used as a component in some perfumes.
