TCI A0058-25G Acetone Semicarbazone is the semicarbazone derivative of acetone, formed by the condensation of acetone with semicarbazide. In the laboratory it is classed as a non-heterocyclic organic building block and is recognized as a classic example of a crystalline carbonyl derivative. Its main role is as a reference material and starting material for experiments involving semicarbazone chemistry and related functional groups. Historically, semicarbazones were prepared to identify aldehydes and ketones, because their crystalline derivatives could be compared against literature data. This product is the 25 g pack of catalog item A0058 from TCI.
The compound contains an imine group conjugated with a urea unit, which makes it interesting for studies of reactivity and of coordination with metal ions. Its structure is simple, so it works well as a teaching model for students learning how carbonyl compounds are converted into derivatives. Because the chemical name and CAS number 110-20-3 are the same across pack sizes, laboratories can match the material to published reference data without ambiguity. The TCI brand is a familiar choice for research and teaching laboratories that want consistent catalog documentation.
In Indonesian laboratories, particularly those teaching organic chemistry and analysis, this material is useful for demonstrating how carbonyl derivatives are formed and for practising the interpretation of analytical data. It suits undergraduate practicals, method demonstrations, and small exploratory studies. Because this entry refers specifically to the 25 g pack, users who need a different size can consult the other A0058 entries in the TCI catalog.
