β-Lonone Usage And Synthesis

Chemical PropertiesClear Colorless to Pale Yellow Oil
UsesAn aroma compound commonly found in essential oils such as rose oil. β-Lonone is an important fragrance chemical used in perfumery. β-Ionone is effective in the chemoprevention of rat mammary carcinogenesis.
DefinitionChEBI: An ionone that is but-3-en-2-one substituted by a 2,6,6-trimethylcyclohex-1-en-1-yl group at position 4.
Purification MethodsConvert β-ionone to the semicarbazone (m 149o) by adding 50g of semicarbazide hydrochloride and 44g of potassium acetate in 150mL of water to a solution of 85g of β-ionone in EtOH.
