Product Information

• Name: 2-Pentanone
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2-Pentanone is an organic compound that is a colorless liquid with a pungent odor. It can be used as a solvent for oils, waxes and resins, but it also has some industrial uses. In addition to these properties, 2-pentanone has been shown to be an effective inhibitor of Cox-2, which is a proinflammatory enzyme. It also inhibits the growth of certain types of bacteria in wastewater treatment systems and helps remove metal ions from water. The kinetic energy of the intramolecular hydrogen bond in 2-pentanone makes it easier to break down glycol ethers and caproic acid, which are two reactive compounds found in infectious diseases. The reaction mechanism for 2-pentanone can be found below: 2-Pentanone + Heat → Glycol ether + Caproic acid The glycol ethers and caproic acid are both reactive compounds found in infectious diseases. 2-P
