Mesityl oxide is a nitro compound that is used as an intermediate for the synthesis of other compounds. It is prepared by the reaction of acetone and malonic acid in the presence of phosphorus pentoxide. The optimum concentration for this reaction is 1.5 M in acetone and 0.1 M in malonic acid. The product is purified by solid phase extraction using a microextraction device and then recrystallized from acetone-methanol to obtain pure mesityl oxide. Mesityl oxide has been shown to inhibit prostate cancer cells, which may be due to its ability to react with hydroxyl groups on proteins to form methoxy radicals, which break down DNA molecules.
