Description

2-Pentanone, also known as methyl propyl ketone, is a colorless liquid with a sweet, pungent odor. It is a common industrial solvent and is also found naturally in some fruits and vegetables. It is synthesized by the oxidation of pentane or the reaction of propionic acid with acetone. 2-Pentanone is used as a solvent for paints, resins, and varnishes. It is also used in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and other chemicals. 2-Pentanone is flammable and can be harmful if inhaled or absorbed through the skin. It is a common air pollutant and can contribute to smog formation. 2-Pentanone is studied because it is a common industrial solvent and because it is found naturally in some fruits and vegetables. Scientists are interested in understanding its environmental fate and its potential effects on human health.'
