Acetophenone

Comments

 
Picture
simplest aromatic ketone, in small amounts can be found in apple, apricots, cheese, chicory, banana, beef, and cauliflower. It is a precursor to useful resins and fragrances, is used in chewing gum and is an  ingredient in fragrances that resemble smell of almond, cherry, honeysuckle, jasmine, and strawberry. 
In humans, acetophenone is metabolized to 
benzoic acid, carbonic acid, and acetone, but it can be also excreted in its original form in feces and saliva.
Deuterated acetophenone smells fruitier than ordinary acetophenone. It also smells slightly of bitter almonds, just like many compounds containing the cyanide or nitrile group (C≡N) - as both C–D and C≡N bonds vibrate at the same frequency (about 2200 cm-1).   See also 2-aminoacetophenone
