Preparation of Acetone
Acetone can be prepared through several methods, both in industrial settings and in the laboratory. In the industry 83% of acetone is produced by cumene process. In the cumene process, benzene is alkylated with propylene to produce cumene, which is oxidized by air to produce phenol and acetone. Here’s a detailed overview of the cumene process:
Cumene Process Overview
Alkylation of Benzene with Propylene:
- The process begins with the alkylation of benzene using propylene. This step produces cumene (isopropylbenzene).
- The reaction typically occurs in the presence of a catalyst, such as solid phosphoric acid or an acidic zeolite.
- The reaction can be represented as follows: C6H6+C3H6 (Benzene + Propylene → Cumene)
Oxidation of Cumene:
- The cumene is then oxidized with air.
- This oxidation forms cumene hydroperoxide, an intermediate.
- This step is typically carried out at a moderate temperature and under controlled conditions to prevent undesirable side reactions.
Cleavage of Cumene Hydroperoxide:
- Cumene hydroperoxide is then subjected to an acid-catalyzed cleavage.
- The cleavage reaction yields phenol and acetone.
- The typical catalyst used in this step is sulfuric acid or an acidic ion-exchange resin.
- The reaction can be summarized as: C9H12O2 (Cumene Hydroperoxide → Phenol + Acetone)

Health Hazards of Acetone
Acetone is generally considered to be a low-toxicity solvent, but it can still pose health hazards if not handled properly. Here are some of the potential health risks associated with acetone exposure:
Acute (Short-Term) Exposure:
Irritation: Acetone vapor can irritate the eyes, nose, throat, and lungs. Contact with liquid acetone can irritate and damage the skin.
Central Nervous System Effects: High levels of inhalation can affect the central nervous system, causing symptoms such as headache, dizziness, confusion, incoordination, and even loss of consciousness.
Respiratory Issues: Breathing in high levels of acetone can lead to respiratory distress and in severe cases, pulmonary edema.
Gastrointestinal Effects: Ingestion of acetone can cause nausea, vomiting, and irritation to the gastrointestinal tract.
Chronic (Long-Term) Exposure:
Dermatological Effects: Repeated or prolonged skin contact with acetone can lead to dermatitis and defatting of the skin, making it dry, cracked, and prone to irritation.
Neurotoxicity: Chronic exposure to acetone vapors may lead to neuropathy, characterized by weakness, tingling, and numbness in the hands and feet.
Organic Solvent Syndrome: Long-term exposure to high levels of solvents like acetone can contribute to a condition known as “organic solvent syndrome,” which is marked by chronic effects on the central nervous system, including persistent headaches, mood changes, and cognitive impairments.
Safety Recommendations:
- Ventilation: Always use acetone in a well-ventilated area to minimize inhalation exposure.
- Protective Equipment: Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), such as gloves, goggles, and possibly a respirator, depending on the level of exposure.
- Proper Storage: Store acetone in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and open flames due to its high flammability.
- Spill Management: Handle spills promptly and safely, using absorbent materials and ventilating the area.
- Disposal: Dispose of acetone and any contaminated materials according to local regulations to prevent environmental contamination.
It’s important to consult the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) or Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for acetone and follow all recommended workplace controls and practices. In case of exposure or if symptoms occur, seek medical attention promptly.
