Acetone is the simplest saturated ketone, is a colorless transparent liquid, soluble in water, methanol, ethanol, ether, dichloromethane, chloroform, pyridine and other organic solvents. Flammable, volatile, chemical properties are more active, so the organic reaction with acetone as a solvent is less, acetone is generally used as a cleaning solvent in the laboratory. Industrial production of acetone is generally isopropyl benzene method, isopropyl benzene oxidation can obtain phenol and acetone at the same time, which is an important industrial preparation of bisphenol A raw materials. Acetone in the industry is mainly used as a solvent for explosives, plastics, rubber, fiber, dyeing and finishing, painting and other industries, but also the synthesis of ketene, acetic anhydride, iodoform, polyisoprene rubber, methyl methacrylate, chloroform, epoxy resin and other compounds of the important raw materials.
