CAS 2955-65-9
:3,6-Octanedione
Description:
3,6-Octanedione, with the CAS number 2955-65-9, is a diketone characterized by its two carbonyl (C=O) functional groups located at the 3rd and 6th positions of an eight-carbon straight-chain alkane. This compound is a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature and possesses a distinctive sweet, buttery odor. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic hydrocarbon chain. 3,6-Octanedione is known for its applications in the synthesis of various organic compounds and as a flavoring agent in the food industry. Additionally, it can act as a precursor in the production of polymers and other chemical intermediates. The compound exhibits moderate volatility and can undergo reactions typical of diketones, including condensation and oxidation. Safety considerations include handling it in well-ventilated areas and using appropriate personal protective equipment, as it may cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes.
