2-octanone Cas 111-13-7

2-Octanone is also Methyl n-hexyl ketone. 2-Octanone has a floral and bitter, green, fruity (unripe apple) odor with a bitter camphoraceous taste. May be synthesized by the oxidation of methyl hexyl carbinol with K2Cr2O7 and sulfuric acid; also by oxidation of 2-octanol over zinc oxide at 330 - 340°C. It’s a colorless liquid; pleasant odor; cam-phor taste. Insoluble in water; solublein alcohol, hydrocarbons, ether, esters, etc. Com-bustible.
2-Octanone can be produced by oxidation of methyl hexyl carbinol, 2-octanol, or 1-octene or by reductive condensation of acetone with pentanol. Commercial samples can have a purity of 98%. Premium quality 2-Octanone with clear colorless liquid appearance, Odowell 2-Octanone with high quality in stock and free Sample for testing. Production capacity: 150 Tons annually manufacturing for European countries and American market.

2-Octanone (Specification)

2-Octanone Feature And Application

2-Octanone is a volatile flavor compound reported to be found in blue cheese, acerola fruit, blue crab and cray fish. c is a kind of natural ketone found in many sources such as coco, baked peanuts, potato, cheese, beer, banana and oranges. It can be used as a flavor and fragrance ingredient. It is used in the field of fiber, medicine, pesticides and spices for the synthesis of fiber oil, defoamer and the preparation of surfactants, coal flotation agent.
Methyl n-hexyl ketone is used as solvent for vinyl compounds and dyes and is suitable for dispersing dyes in light-weight petroleum oils for newsprint inks. Poison by ingestion. Moderately toxic by intraperitoned route. A sktn irritant. Flammable liquid when exposed to heat, flame, or oxidizers. To fight fire, use foam, alcohol foam. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes. See also ETHER and KETONES.

2-octanone Details

1-Octyne (7.5 g) and formic acid (100 mL) were heated in an oil bath at 100 ºC until all starting material was consumed. The progress of the reaction was monitored by GC analysis of the reaction solution. Quantitative GC analysis at the end of the reaction (6 h) indicated 92% yield of 2-octanone. The cooled reaction mixture was taken up with CH2Cl2 (170 mL), and the solution was washed with water, sodium carbonate solution, and water, dried over MgSO4, and evaporated in vacuo. The residue was distilled (bp 171–173 ºC) to give 2-octanone (7.42 g, 85%).
