2,3-hexanedione - Preparation Method
Open Data Verified Data
The product is obtained from the condensation of propionaldehyde with ethyl acetoacetate followed by oxidation, hydrolysis and decarboxylation. It can also be converted to a monooxime with methyl butyl ketone or ethyl acetone and hydrolyzed to 2, 3-hexanedione. It can also be converted by the acid-catalyzed condensation of hydroxyacetone with propionaldehyde.

2,3-hexanedione - Safety
Open Data Verified Data
The acute oral LD50 of rats and the percutaneous LD50 of rabbits were both higher than 5g/kg. The samples were applied to rabbit skin under closed conditions for 1 day with moderate irritation. A two-day closed skin contact test of 4% Vaseline preparation on human body showed no irritation and sensitization.
