CAS 16538-91-3
:2,9-Decanedione
Description:
2,9-Decanedione, with the CAS number 16538-91-3, is a diketone characterized by its two carbonyl (C=O) functional groups located at the second and ninth carbon atoms of a decane 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 decane backbone. 2,9-Decanedione is known for its potential applications in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of various chemical intermediates and fragrances. Its reactivity is influenced by the presence of the carbonyl groups, making it susceptible to nucleophilic addition reactions. Additionally, it may exhibit biological activity, which has drawn interest in the fields of medicinal chemistry and flavoring. Safety data indicates that, like many diketones, it should be handled with care due to potential irritant properties and the need for proper ventilation during use.
