Propiophenone is an aryl ketone. It is a clear liquid that is insoluble in water, but miscible with methanol, ethanol, diethyl ether, benzene and toluene.
Propiophenone is used in the synthesis of ephedrine and propiophenone derivatives such as cathinone, and methcathinone. It can also be used in the synthesis of aryl alkenes, such as phenylpropanoids.
Propiophenone can be prepared from propionic acid and benzene.
