2-methyl-3-heptanone

Description:
2-Methyl-3-heptanone is a ketone with the molecular formula C8H16O, characterized by a carbonyl group (C=O) located between two carbon chains. This compound features a branched structure, with a methyl group attached to the second carbon of a heptanone backbone. It is a colorless liquid at room temperature, exhibiting a pleasant, fruity odor, which makes it useful in flavoring and fragrance applications. The compound is moderately soluble in water but more soluble in organic solvents, reflecting its hydrophobic nature due to the long carbon chain. 2-Methyl-3-heptanone has a relatively low boiling point compared to larger ketones, which contributes to its volatility. It is flammable and should be handled with care, following appropriate safety protocols. In terms of reactivity, it can undergo typical ketone reactions, such as nucleophilic addition and oxidation, making it a versatile intermediate in organic synthesis. Overall, 2-methyl-3-heptanone is significant in both industrial applications and research contexts.
