Description

2-Butanone oxime, also known as methyl ethyl ketone oxime, is a colorless liquid with a characteristic odor. It is a versatile chemical used in various applications, including the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and other organic compounds. It is also used as a reagent in analytical chemistry and as an intermediate in the production of various industrial chemicals. The synthesis of 2-butanone oxime typically involves the reaction of 2-butanone with hydroxylamine. It is a relatively stable compound, but it can decompose under certain conditions. The effects of 2-butanone oxime on living organisms are not well-studied, but it is known to be irritating to the skin and eyes. It is important to handle this compound with care and to follow safety precautions.'
