:2,4-Dimethyl-3-heptanone
Description:
2,4-Dimethyl-3-heptanone is a ketone characterized by its seven-carbon chain and two methyl groups located at the second and fourth positions of the heptanone structure. This compound features a carbonyl group (C=O) at the third carbon, which is typical of ketones. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor, often described as sweet or fruity. The molecular formula is C9H18O, and it has a relatively low boiling point compared to larger ketones, making it volatile. 2,4-Dimethyl-3-heptanone is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic carbon chain. It is used in various applications, including as a flavoring agent and in the synthesis of other organic compounds. Safety data indicates that it should be handled with care, as it may cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes. Proper storage in a cool, well-ventilated area is recommended to maintain its stability and prevent degradation.
