Chemical Structure

Basic Info
4-Methyl-2-Pentanone reagent is widely utilized as a solvent in chemical and pharmaceutical industries, for the separation and recuperation of nuclear fission products, and for scientific study experiments. The material of 4-methyl-2-pentanone offered in the market is ≤ 99%, which has a small amount of impurities such as alcohol, acidic compounds, and water. 4-Methyl-2-Pentanone is utilized as a solvent for nitrocellulose, paint, and specific polymers and resins, in addition to a reactant for the synthesis of 2- (1-hydroxy-3-methylbutyne) -1 h indene-1,3 (2H) – dione.
chemical property
4-Methyl-2-Pentanone is a colorless and clear liquid with a camphor odor, at m.p.-80 ℃ and b.p.117-118 ℃, n20D1.3960 , Family member thickness 0.801, F.p. 56 ℉ (13 ℃), practically insoluble in water, yet can form azeotropes with water. Its boiling factor is 87.9 ℃, with a water material of 24.3% and a ketone web content of 75.7%. It is miscible with organic solvents such as phenols, aldehydes, ethers, and benzene.
4-Methyl-2-Pentanone is an organic compound.
Appearance: 4-Methyl-2-Pentanone is an anemic liquid with a water like smell.Density: Its density is roughly 0.812 g/mL.Solubility: 4-Methyl-2-Pentanone is soluble alike organic solvents such as ethanol, ether, and acetone, however insoluble in water.
Purpose:
– Chemical market: 4-Methyl-2-Pentanone can be made use of as a solvent for natural synthesis responses, particularly in the removal and splitting up of plant essences.
Manufacturing method:
There are multiple means to prepare 4-Methyl-2-Pentanone, and one typically utilized approach is to get it from hexanone (2-pentanone) via methylation saturation reaction. This response calls for using a methylating representative, such as methyl magnesium bromide (MeMgBr) or methyl sodium iodide (MeI). Via this method, methyl teams can be contributed to the carbon skeleton of 2-pentanone molecules to get 4-Methyl-2-Pentanone.
