Phenacetin
1. Basic Information
Name: Phenacetin
Alias: Acetophenetidin, p-Acetophenetidine
CAS No.: 62-44-2
Molecular Formula: C10H13NO2
Molecular Weight: 179.22
Category: Aromatic amide pharmaceutical raw material and analytical standard
2. Physical and Chemical Properties
Physical Properties
- Appearance: White lustrous crystalline scale or fine crystalline powder
- Odor: Odorless, slightly bitter taste
- Solubility: Slightly soluble in cold water, soluble in hot water, ethanol, acetone, chloroform; slightly soluble in ether
- Melting Range: 134–136 °C
- Hygroscopy: Non-hygroscopic under normal ambient humidity
- Aqueous Property: Neutral aqueous solution, stable in neutral and weak acidic water environment
Chemical Properties
- Molecular Structure: Para-ethoxyacetanilide, benzene ring connected with ethoxy group and acetamide group at para positions
- Amide Hydrolysis: Under strong acid or alkaline heating, acetamide group hydrolyzes to generate p-phenetidine and acetic acid
- Redox Stability: Stable under normal light and temperature; easy to oxidize and turn yellow under long-term strong light and high temperature
- Derivatization Reaction: Amino group after hydrolysis can undergo diazotization, coupling and other reactions for dye synthesis
- Photostability: Moderately sensitive to ultraviolet light; long-term illumination leads to yellow discoloration
- Compatibility: Compatible with most neutral pharmaceutical excipients; incompatible with strong oxidants, concentrated strong acid and strong alkali

Safety Warning
Harmful aromatic amide powder. Dust irritates eyes, respiratory tract and skin; long-term repeated contact may cause adverse effects on hematopoietic system. All operations must be performed in ventilated fume hoods with dust respirators, chemical-resistant gloves and full-face safety goggles. Keep airtight storage away from light to prevent oxidative yellowing. Waste liquid needs organic solvent recovery and neutralization treatment; solid waste is classified as hazardous organic waste and must be disposed by licensed professional hazardous waste treatment facilities.
