CAS 96-22-0: Ethyl ketone

Applications 3-Pentanone (also known as diethyl ketone) is a simple, symmetrical dialkyl ketone. It is mainly used as a solvent in paint and a precursor to vitamin E. It is a useful synthetic intermediate. It can be used as a reagent to synthesize Ethyl 2-Cyano-3,3-diethylacrylate (E907600) by Knoevenagel condensation. It also shows anticonvulsant effect in several types of mouse seizure models. Not a dangerous good if item is equal to or less than 1g/ml and there is less than 100g/ml in the package References Hasebe, N., et al.: Eur. J. Pharma., 642, 66 (2010); Siegel, H., et al.: Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry (2002)

3-Pentanone is a ketone that has been widely used in the chemical industry and as a solvent. 3-Pentanone undergoes thermal expansion when heated to its optimum concentration and it can be used as a buffer in the presence of water vapor. 3-Pentanone is chemically stable, but may react with hydrogen fluoride or metal oxides such as zirconium oxide. 3-Pentanone's analytical method involves gas chromatography with an electron capture detector (GC-ECD). The GC column is packed with 5% phenyl methyl silicone phase and the resolution of peaks is enhanced by using hydrogen fluoride as a reagent. The kinetic data for this compound are determined by measuring the rate at which it reacts with hydroxyl groups.
