Description

White to light yellow crystal powde It forms yellowish crystals with a sweet, very persistent, slightly animal musk odor.Musk ketone is prepared by Friedel–Crafts acetylation of 1,3-dimethyl-5-tert-butylbenzene and nitration of the resulting 2,6- dimethyl-4-tert-butylacetophenone with nitric acid.
Musk ketone is widely used as a fixative in blossom and fantasy compositions.

Musk ketone Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

It is produced by tert-butylation, acetylation and nitration of meta-xylene. When isobutanol is used as the alkylating agent for tert-butylation, the reaction temperature is 50-54°C. The use of isobutylene for alkylation is technologically reasonable. In this case, aluminum trichloride is used as a catalyst, and the resulting 1, 3-dimethyl-5-tert-butylbenzene is purified by vacuum distillation (boiling point It is 85-90℃/0.0016-0.0019MPa). The acetylation uses aluminum trichloride as a catalyst, and the reaction temperature is 58-60°C. Ferric chloride or zinc chloride can also be used, and the reaction temperature is 90-95°C. During the nitration reaction, the nitric acid is first cooled to -8-10°C, then 2, 6-dimethyl-4-tert-butylacetophenone is added, and the reaction is carried out at -5-8°C. The nitrated product was washed with water, and the obtained crude product was recrystallized with ethanol.
