Cannabis Compound Identification
Common Namealpha-Chloroacetophenone
Descriptionalpha-Chloroacetophenone or 2-Chloroacetophenone, also known as mace, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as alkyl-phenylketones. These are aromatic compounds containing a ketone substituted by one alkyl group, and a phenyl group. alpha-Chloroacetophenone is a useful building block in organic chemistry. Although it is potentially a toxic compound, alpha-chloroacetophenone is commonly used as a tear gas. Due to its peripheral sensory irritant effect, it has been historically used as a riot control agent. alpha-Chloroacetophenone is synthesized by the Friedel-Crafts acylation of benzene using chloroacetyl chloride, with an aluminium chloride catalyst.
