Sigma-Aldrich 2-Bromo-2-Acetonaphthone

2-Bromo-2′-acetonaphthone is used for derivatization of captopril to develop a fast and sensitive high-performance liquid chromatographic method for the determination of captopril in plasma[1].2-Bromo-2′-acetonaphthone converts tetra-acids extracted from calcium naphthenate deposits to 2-naphthacyl derivatives[2].

2-Bromo-2′-acetonaphthone was used to determine the concentration of tetra-acids in calcium naphthenate deposits[2]. 2-Bromo-2′-acetonaphthone was used as derivation reagent for determination of fatty acids extracted from Botryococcus braunii by HPLC[3].
