 |  | 2-Acetylthiophene Usage And Synthesis |  
 | Description | 2-Acetylthiophene occurs naturally in kohlrabi. It has a sulfurous nutty hazelnut odor. It can be used as a food additive. It is also used as an intermediate to produce drugs, such as Tiamonium Iodide, Suprofan, Stepronin, Tenonitrozole, Namirotene, etc.
 |  | Chemical Properties | clear colorless to slightly yellow liquid |  | Uses | 2-Acetylthiophene is used as an intermediate in the manufacturing of drugs like Tiamonium Iodide, Suprofan, Stepronin, Tenonitrozole, Namirotene, etc. |  | Definition | ChEBI: 2-Acetylthiophene is an aromatic ketone. |  | Synthesis Reference(s) | Organic Syntheses, Coll.

A flammable liquid. When heated to decomposition emits toxic fumes of SOx,. |  | Purification Methods | Fractionally distil the thiophene through a 12-plate column, and fraction b 77o/4mm is collected. Also wet the acetylthiophene in order to remove and free thiophene which forms an azeotrope with H2O, b 68o. Store it in a brown bottle, and the clear colourless liquid remains thus for extended periods.
