3-Butyl-2,4-pentanedione

Description:

3-Butyl-2,4-pentanedione, with the CAS number 1540-36-9, is an organic compound characterized by its diketone structure, featuring two carbonyl (C=O) groups located at the 2 and 4 positions of a five-carbon chain. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic butyl group. The presence of the butyl group contributes to its relatively low volatility compared to other diketones. 3-Butyl-2,4-pentanedione is known for its reactivity, particularly in condensation reactions, and can act as a ligand in coordination chemistry due to the availability of the carbonyl oxygens for metal binding. It is utilized in various applications, including as a flavoring agent, in organic synthesis, and as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks upon exposure.
