Hydroxyacetophenone and Phenyl Acetate Market: Overview
Hydroxyacetophenone is also known as 2-Hydroxyacetophenone (o-hydroxyacetophenone) or 3-Hydroxyacetophenone (m-hydroxyacetophenone) or 4-Hydroxyacetophenone (p-hydroxyacetophenone, piceol). It is weak acidic and slightly soluble compound. It is a balsam tasting, sweet, and mild compound found in sweet oranges.
Hydroxyacetophenone is a skin conditioning and synthetic antioxidant ingredient. It has soothing ability, since it can prevent an enzyme in skin’s surface which leads to signs of irritation. It act as anti-irritant, anti-oxidant, and preservative booster.
Phenyl acetate is also known as acetylphenol or acetates. It is the ester of phenol and acetic acid. It is an aromatic fatty acid metabolite of phenylalanine. It has potential antineoplastic activity. It can be biosynthesized from phenol.
Phenyl acetate is used as a chemical intermediate, solvent, and as laboratory reagent
