Mono chloroacetone synthesis chlorination method with uv light explain temperature measure and time
Accepted Answer
Monochloroacetone can be synthesized by the chlorination of acetone using UV light. This reaction is typically carried out at temperatures between 0°C and 25°C to control the reaction rate and minimize the formation of byproducts. The reaction time can vary depending on the reaction conditions, but typically ranges from a few hours to several days. It's important to monitor the reaction progress using techniques such as gas chromatography (GC) or nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) to ensure complete conversion of acetone and minimize the formation of dichloroacetone.
