Hexanones

chemical compound

Pinacolone (3,3-dimethyl-2-butanone) is an important ketone in organic chemistry. It is a colorless liquid with a slight peppermint or camphor odor. It is a precursor to triazolylpinacolone in the synthesis of the fungicide triadimefon and in synthesis of the herbicide metribuzin. The molecule is an asymmetrical ketone. The α-methyl group can participate in condensation reactions. The carbonyl group can undergo the usual reactions (hydrogenation, reductive amination, etc.). It is a Schedule 3 compound under the Chemical Weapons Convention 1993, due to being related to pinacolyl alcohol, which

2-Hexanone, also known as methyl butyl ketone, MBK, is an organic compoundwith the molecular formula . It is classified as a ketone. The compound is a colorless, water-like liquid that is used as a general solvent and in paints. It dissolves cellulose nitrate, vinyl polymers and copolymers, and natural and synthetic resins. It is recommended as a solvent because it is photochemically inactive; however it has a very low safe threshold limit value.

chemical compound

3-Hexanone (ethyl propyl ketone) is an organic compound with the formula C6H12O. It is a ketone used as a solvent and as a chemical intermediate. It is highly flammable. It has roles as a human urinary metabolite, a human xenobiotic metabolite, an insect trap, a plant metabolite and a bacterial xenobiotic metabolite. It derives from a hydride of hexane.

3-Methyl-2-pentanone ('methyl sec-butyl ketone') is an aliphatic ketone and isomer of 2-hexanone.
