2-Hexanone

CAS: 591-78-6

2-Hexanone is a ketone that is used as a solvent in chemical analysis. It is also used for the treatment of wastewater and for sample preparation in tissue culture. 2-Hexanone has been shown to increase the activity of complex enzymes such as cytochrome P450, which metabolize drugs and other xenobiotics. 2-Hexanone has also been shown to enhance the metabolism of methyl n-butyl ketone and locomotor activity in CD-1 mice. This compound has been shown to have water vapor permeability properties, which may be due to its hydroxyl group. The metabolic products of 2-hexanone include trifluoroacetic acid, which can lead to kidney damage when consumed orally or inhaled.
