 Technology Profile

Title:

Isobutyro Phenone and Cyclohexanoyl Phenone
Value Proposition:
  • Continuous process and Eco-friendly and economically viable
  • Avoids hazardous AlCl₃ use
  • Solvent-free or minimal solvent environment
Summary Application:
  • Continuous vapour phase catalytic process for the production of isobutyro phenone and cyclohexanoyl phenone via a ketonization reaction, replacing the conventional Friedel-Crafts acylation using AlCl3.
  • Environmentally benign and economically favorable.
Advantages:
  • As photo-initiators and as intermediates in specialty chemicals and polymer synthesis
