General description

Molecular dynamics simulation study of the two known polymorphs of 4′-hydroxyacetophenone (form I, monoclinic; form II, orthorhombic) has been described.

Application

4′-Hydroxyacetophenone has been used as ketone component in the preparation of 1-aryl-3-phenethylamino-1-propanone hydrochlorides, potential cytotoxic agents, via Mannich reactions.

The catabolism of 4-hydroxyacetophenone in Pseudomonas fluorescens ACB is known to proceed through the intermediate formation of hydroquinone. Here, we provide evidence that hydroquinone is further degraded through 4-hydroxymuconic semialdehyde and maleylacetate to beta-ketoadipate. The P. fluorescens ACB genes involved

A family of six novel p-hydroxyacetophenone amides, 1-6, was isolated from Cystobacter ferrugineus, strain Cb G35. Their structures were elucidated by ESI-TOF mass spectrometry and NMR spectroscopy. Feeding experiments with labeled [¹³C₉,¹⁵N]-tyrosine and [d₁₀]-leucine identified the biosynthetic precursors of 1.
