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.
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.
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)
The study concluded the byproduct “is a potential human health concern" and called for an immediate evaluation of its levels in water sources, finished drinking water and wastewater.
The Summary. A newly identified chemical byproduct may be present in drinking water in about a third of U.S. homes, a study found. Scientists do not yet know whether the byproduct is dangerous.
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 ...
The compound — known as chloronitramide anion — is found in water treated with inorganic chloramines, which more than one in five Americans, or around 113 million people, drink.
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.
