purple-brownish crystalline powder
2-Bromo-2′-acetonaphthone was used to determine the concentration of tetra-acids in calcium naphthenate deposits. 2-Bromo-2′-acetonaphthone was used as derivation reagent for determination of fatty acids extracted from Botryococcus braunii by HPLC.
2-Bromo-2′-acetonaphthone is used for derivatization of captopril to develop a fast and sensitive high-performance liquid chromatographic method for the determination of captopril in plasma.2-Bromo-2′-acetonaphthone converts tetra-acids extracted from calcium naphthenate deposits to 2-naphthacyl derivatives.
