Product Information

• Name: 2,4-Pentanedione
• Synonyms: Acetylacetone
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2,4-Pentanedione is a fluorescence probe that can be used as an intramolecular hydrogen-sensitive reagent. It is also used to detect bowel disease and other diseases. 2,4-Pentanedione reacts with acetylacetone in the presence of methyl ethyl ketone to form a fluorescent compound. This reaction is shown in two steps: CH3COCOCH2CH3 + p-nitrophenyl phosphate → CH3COOCOCH2CH2 + p-nitrophenol 2,4-Pentanedione + CH3COOCOCH2CH2 → 2,4-pentanedione-1,5-dione + CO This compound is also used for wastewater treatment and as a ferroelectric material. X-ray diffraction data has been collected on this compound at different temperatures and in different solvents. Biological studies have been done on the effects of
