Methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK, 4-methylpentan-2-one) is an organic compound with the condensed chemical formula (CH 3) 2 CHCH 2 C(O)CH 3. This ketone is a colourless liquid that is used as a solvent for gums, resins, paints, varnishes, lacquers, and nitrocellulose.
Mesityl oxide is used as a solvent and in the production of methyl isobutyl ketone by hydrogenation: [5] Further hydrogenation gives 4-methyl-2-pentanol (methyl isobutyl carbinol). Dimedone is another established use of mesityl oxide.
Because of the diversity of industrial uses for denatured alcohol, hundreds of additives and denaturing methods have been used. The main additive usually is 10% methanol (methyl alcohol), hence the name methylated spirits. Other common additives include isopropyl alcohol, acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, and methyl isobutyl ketone. [1]
4-Methyl-2-pentanol (IUPAC name: 4-methylpentan-2-ol) or methyl isobutyl carbinol (MIBC) is an organic chemical compound used primarily as a frother in mineral flotation and in the production of lubricant oil additives such as Zinc dithiophosphate. [4]
2-Hexanone (methyl butyl ketone, MBK) is a ketone used as a general solvent and in paints. It dissolves cellulose nitrate, vinyl polymers and copolymers, and natural and synthetic resins. It dissolves cellulose nitrate, vinyl polymers and copolymers, and natural and synthetic resins.
3-Methyl-2-butanone (methyl isopropyl ketone, MIPK) is a ketone and solvent of minor importance. It is comparable to MEK ( Methyl ethyl ketone ), but has a lower solvency and is more expensive. [ 2 ]
Hexanone may refer to the following ketones containing six carbon atoms: . 2-Hexanone (Methyl butyl ketone, MBK) . 4-Methyl-2-pentanone (Methyl isobutyl ketone, MIBK); 3-Methyl-2-pentanone (Methyl sec-butyl ketone)
Methyl ethyl ketone peroxide (MEKP) is an organic peroxide with the formula [(CH 3)(C 2 H 5)C(O 2 H)] 2 O 2. MEKP is a colorless oily liquid. It is widely used in vulcanization (crosslinking) of polymers. [3] It is derived from the reaction of methyl ethyl ketone and hydrogen peroxide under acidic conditions.
