Description

General description

Acetoacetanilide (N-phenyl-3-oxobutanamide) undergoes condensation reaction with o-phenylenediamine to afford a Schiff base. Dielectric constant of acetoacetanilide crystals were found to increase on exposure to 120MeV Ag¹³⁺ ions due to increase in number of defects. Acetoacetanilide/Ce⁴⁺ system serves as an initiator during the polymerization of vinyl monomers.

Application

Acetoacetanilide may be used to synthesize:

• azo pigments
• acetoacetanilido-4-aminoantipyrine (Schiff base)
• 6-aryl-2-methyl-4-oxo-N,N′-diphenyl-2-cyclohexene-1,3-dicarboxamides
• photoluminescent lanthanide complexes
