Procedure

Furthermore, acetone can be synthesized by pyrolyzing cellulose in a wood material to give acetic acid, neutralizing the acetic acid with calcium hydroxide to give calcium acetate, and then pyrolyzing the calcium acetate. Since acetic acid is generated by oxidation of ethanol during the fermentation in the synthesis of bioethanol, the acetic acid can be utilized to synthesize acetone through the same process as above.
