2-Methyl-3-pentanone

Description:
2-Methyl-3-pentanone, also known as methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK), is a colorless liquid with a characteristic odor reminiscent of acetone. It is classified as a ketone, featuring a carbonyl group (C=O) flanked by two carbon chains. The molecular formula is C6H12O, and it has a moderate boiling point, making it a useful solvent in various industrial applications, including coatings, adhesives, and chemical synthesis. 2-Methyl-3-pentanone is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. It is known for its ability to dissolve a wide range of substances, which enhances its utility in formulations. The substance is flammable and should be handled with care, as it can pose health risks through inhalation or skin contact. Additionally, it has a relatively low vapor pressure, which contributes to its volatility. Overall, 2-Methyl-3-pentanone is valued for its solvent properties and is commonly used in the production of other chemicals and as an intermediate in organic synthesis.
