Application

2-Hydroxyacetophenone can be used as a starting material for the synthesis of:
  • Enantioselective 1R-phenyl-1,2-ethanediol in the presence of a rhodium(III) catalyst by asymmetric transfer hydrogenation.
  • Copper(II) complexes of 2-hydroxyacetophenone N-substituted thiosemicarbazones.
  • Chromium, molybdenum, and ruthenium complexes of 2-hydroxyacetophenone Schiff bases.
  • 2-Hydroxyacetophenone-aroyl hydrazone derivatives for inhibition of copper corrosion in nitric acid.

Fluorophores with aggregation-induced emission enhancement (AIEE) characteristics applied in bioimaging have attracted more and more attention in recent years. In this work, a series of flavanone compounds with AIEE characteristics was developed and applied to fluorescence imaging of mitochondria and
