Description

Application

Acetone can undergo base catalyzed condensation with citral to obtain pseudoionone, a raw material used in the production of vitamin A.

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 .
