Chemical Structure

Basic Info
2-Pentanone, a chemical raw material of aliphatic ketones with the molecular formula C 5 H 10 o, is an important organic compound. It is a clear, colorless liquid with an acetone-like sweet smell. It has good solubility. It is soluble in a variety of organic solvents, and slightly soluble in distilled water. The 2-Pentanone molecule contains a carbonyl group that is active (C=O). This makes it highly reactive and able to participate in various organic reactions such as addition, reduction and condensation.
Organic compound 2-Pentanone is also called hexanone. 2-Pentanone, a colorless liquid, has a strong alcohol and acetone smell. Water-soluble, but miscible with alcohol and ether.
In the industry, 2-Pentanone, a solvent with a medium polarity, is used to manufacture products like coatings and inks. It’s also used in adhesives, resins and fragrances. It is also a key intermediate in the synthesis fine chemicals, such as pesticides, drugs, and fragrances. The 2-Pentanone is a key component in fine chemical engineering and modern organic synthesis due to its active chemical reactions and stable physical properties.
