6137-03-7 - Introduction
3-ETHYL-2-PENTANONE (also known as 3-ethylpentanone or MEK) is a colorless liquid that may be yellow when it has water impurities. It has low water solubility, high boiling point and special fragrance. The following is a detailed description of the nature, use, preparation and safety information of 3-ETHYL-2-PENTANONE:
Nature:
-Appearance: Colorless liquid, sometimes with yellow
-Molecular formula: C7H14O
-Molecular weight: 114.19g/mol
-Boiling point: 116-117 ° C
-Density: 0.81 g/mL
-Solubility: Insoluble in water, soluble in organic solvents such as alcohols, ethers and ketones
Use:
1. Industrial applications: 3-ETHYL-2-PENTANONE is widely used in industrial production of solvents, cleaning agents and detergents and other fields. As a polar solvent, it can dissolve many organic substances, so it is widely used in coatings, resins, adhesives, inks and paints.
2. Chemical Synthesis: 3-ETHYL-2-PENTANONE can also be used as raw materials and intermediates for chemical synthesis. It is used in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, perfumes, dyes and other chemicals, and participates in synthetic reactions such as esterification, condensation and oxidation.
Method:
3-ETHYL-2-PENTANONE can be prepared by the hydrogenolysis of ethyl acetate and isoamyl acetate. The specific steps include subjecting ethyl acetate and isoamyl acetate to a hydrogenolysis reaction in the presence of a catalyst, and purifying the product by distillation.
Safety Information:
- 3-ETHYL-2-PENTANONE vapor can cause irritation to the eyes, respiratory system and skin, so avoid contact during use.
-in the use of the process to ensure good ventilation, to avoid excessive vapor concentration.
-Avoid inhalation or contact with skin during use. If there is contact, rinse immediately with plenty of water.
-Avoid contact with oxidants during storage, and keep away from open flames and heat sources.
-Seek medical attention as soon as possible if you ingest or inhale relatively large amounts of 3-ETHYL-2-PENTANONE.
