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.

Biotransformations were performed on eight selected yeast strains, all of which were able to selectively hydrogenate the chalcone derivatives 3-(2"-furyl)- (1) and 3-(2"-thienyl)-1-(2'-hydroxyphenyl)-prop-2-en-1-one (3) into 3-(2"-furyl)- (2) and 3-(2"-thienyl)-1-(2'-hydroxyphenyl)-propan-1-one (4) respectively. The highest efficiency of hydrogenation of the double bond
