2,5-Hexanedione (Acetonylacetone) is an aliphatic diketone. It is a colorless liquid. [1] In humans, it is a toxic metabolite of hexane and of 2-hexanone.
It dissolves cellulose nitrate, vinyl polymers and copolymers, and natural and synthetic resins. It is recommended as a solvent because it is photochemically inactive; [5] however it has a very low safe threshold limit value. 2-Hexanone is absorbed through the lungs, orally and dermally and its metabolite, 2,5-hexanedione, is neurotoxic.

2,5-Hexanediol is an organic compound with the formula CH 3 CH(OH)CH 2 CH 2 CH(OH)CH 3. It is both a glycol and a secondary alcohol. [1] It is a colorless water-soluble viscous liquid. [2] [3] [4] The chemical properties are well understood and have been extensively reported and studied. [5]
It forms the acetylacetonate anion C 5 H 7 O − 2 (commonly abbreviated acac −): C 5 H 8 O 2 ⇌ C 5 H 7 O − 2 + H + The structure of the acetylacetonate anion (acac −) In the acetylacetonate anion, both C-O bonds are equivalent. Both C-C central bonds are equivalent as well, with one hydrogen atom bonded to the central carbon atom (the ...
1,5-Hexadiene is the organic compound with the formula (CH 2) 2 (CH=CH 2) 2. It is a colorless, volatile liquid. It is a colorless, volatile liquid. It is used as a crosslinking agent and precursor to a variety of other compounds.
This reaction is an important approach to the formation of carbon-carbon bonds in organic molecules containing ring systems. As an example, under strong basic conditions (e.g. sodium hydroxide), hexane-2,5-dione (compound A in Figure 1) can cyclize via intramolecular aldol reaction to form the 3-methylcyclopent-2-en-1-one (compound B).
Acetylpropionyl, also known as acetyl propionyl or 2,3-pentanedione, [1] is an organic compound, specifically a diketone. [2] Uses for acetylpropionyl include as a: Solvent for cellulose acetate, paints, inks, and lacquers; Starting material for dyes, pesticides, and drugs
Dimedone is an organic compound with the formula (CH 3) 2 C(CH 2) 2 (CO) 2 (CH 2). Classified as a cyclic diketone, it is a derivative of 1,3-cyclohexanedione. It is a white solid that is soluble in water, as well as ethanol and methanol. It once was used as a reagent to test for the aldehyde functional group.
