2-Methyl-3-pentanone is an organic compound with a formula of CH3(CH2)2CH=C(CH3)2. It is a colorless liquid that has a boiling point of 33°C, and it is soluble in water and ether. This compound is used as a solvent for acrylic paint, butyl rubber, cellulose acetate, nitrocellulose, and other organic materials. 2-Methyl-3-pentanone has been found to be useful in the production of polymers due to its ability to dissolve many compounds. This property allows it to form polymer films that are used as substrate films for chemical reactions or as protective coatings on metals. 2-Methyl-3-pentanone reacts with metal hydroxides in the presence of an inorganic acid (e.g., hydrochloric acid) to form a complex structure that can be detected by gas chromatography at low concentrations.
