2-Pentanone or methyl propyl ketone (MPK) is a ketone and solvent of minor importance. It is comparable to methyl ethyl ketone , but has a lower solvency and is more expensive. [ 5 ] It occurs naturally in Nicotiana tabacum (Tobacco) [ 6 ] and blue cheese as a metabolic product of Penicillium mold growth.
Pentanone may refer to the following ketones containing five carbon atoms: 2-Pentanone (Methyl propyl ketone, MPK) 3-Methyl-2-butanone (Methyl isopropyl ketone, MIPK)
Pentane is an organic compound with the formula C 5 H 12 —that is, an alkane with five carbon atoms. The term may refer to any of three structural isomers, or to a mixture of them: in the IUPAC nomenclature, however, pentane means exclusively the n-pentane isomer, in which case pentanes refers to a mixture of them; the other two are called isopentane (methylbutane) and neopentane ...
3-Pentanone (also known as diethyl ketone) is a simple, symmetrical dialkyl ketone. It is a colorless liquid ketone with an odor like that of acetone . It is soluble in about 25 parts water, but miscible with organic solvents.

Cyclopentanone is common precursor to fragrances, especially those related to jasmine and jasmone.Examples include 2-pentyl- and 2-heptylcyclopentanone. [4] It is a versatile synthetic intermediate, being a precursor to cyclopentobarbital.
Pentanal undergoes the reactions characteristic of any alkyl aldehyde, i.e., oxidations, condensations, and reductions. 2-Octanone, produced for use in the fragrance industry, is obtained by the condensation of acetone and pentanal, followed by hydrogenation of the alkene.
A 2018 report to Congress indicated that "at least 126 drinking water systems on or near military bases" were contaminated with PFAS compounds. [8] [9] A 2016 study found unsafe [10] levels of fluorosurfactants in 194 out of 4,864 water supplies in 33 U.S. states. Covering two-thirds of drinking water supplies in the United States, the study ...
