2-Octanone Usage And Synthesis

Synthesis1-Octyne (7.5 g) and formic acid (100 mL) were heated in an oil bath at 100 ºC until all starting material was consumed. The progress of the reaction was monitored by GC analysis of the reaction solution. Quantitative GC analysis at the end of the reaction (6 h) indicated 92% yield of 2-octanone. The cooled reaction mixture was taken up with CH2Cl2 (170 mL), and the solution was washed with water, sodium carbonate solution, and water, dried over MgSO4, and evaporated in vacuo. The residue was distilled (bp 171–173 ºC) to give 2-octanone (7.42 g, 85%).

General Description2-Octanone is a volatile flavor compound reported to be found in blue cheese, acerola fruit, blue crab and cray fish.
Industrial usesMethyl n-hexyl ketone is used as solvent for vinyl compounds and dyes and issuitable for dispersing dyes in light-weight petroleum oils for newsprint inks.
Safety ProfilePoison by ingestion.Moderately toxic by intraperitoned route. Asktn irritant. Flammable liquid whenexposed to heat, flame, or oxidizers. Tofight fire, use foam, alcohol foam. Whenheated to decomposition it emits acridsmoke and irritating fumes. See alsoETHER and KETONES.
Toxics Screening LevelThe initial threshold screening level (ITSL) for 2-octanon~ (also known as methyl hexyl ketone) is being established at 7 μg/m3 based on an annual averaging time.
