Description

2-heptanone is a ketone with a strong, fruity odor. It is a colorless liquid that is soluble in organic solvents but only slightly soluble in water. It is used as a solvent, fragrance, and flavoring agent. 2-heptanone is also a precursor to other chemicals, such as 2-heptanol and 2-heptyl acetate. It can be synthesized by the oxidation of heptanal or by the reaction of heptanoic acid with a strong base. 2-heptanone has been studied for its potential effects on the nervous system and as a possible biofuel.
