4-Methyl-2-pentanone  CAS 108-10-1

Introduction

4-methyl-2-pentanone (methyl isotetramethicone) reagent is widely used as a solvent in chemical and pharmaceutical industries, separation and recovery of nuclear fission products, and scientific research experiments. The 4-methyl-2-pentanone sold on the market has a content of ≤99%, which contains a small amount of alcohol and chemical substances. 4-methyl-2-pentanone is used as a solvent for nitrocellulose, paint, and certain solvents and resins, and is also used as a reactant for the synthesis of 2-(1-toluene-3-methylbutyl starch)-1h-indene-1,3(2H)-dione.
