Isopropyl methyl ketone, also known as 2-hexanone, is a colorless liquid ketone with a pungent odor. It is primarily used as a solvent in various industrial applications, including paint thinners, adhesives, and coatings. The synthesis of isopropyl methyl ketone typically involves the reaction of acetone with isopropyl alcohol in the presence of a catalyst. Studies on isopropyl methyl ketone focus on its environmental impact, potential health hazards, and its use as a precursor in the production of other chemicals. The compound is considered moderately toxic and flammable, requiring careful handling and storage. Its volatility and potential for air pollution make it a subject of environmental regulations. Researchers are investigating its potential applications in the development of new materials and processes, exploring its reactivity and properties.'

Research Excerpts

Toxicity

ExcerptReferenceRelevance
" These findings appear to conflict with the hypothesis that a strictly dose-additive combined effect will be observed for agents sharing a single molecular site of toxic action within the organism."( Time dependence in mixture toxicity with soft electrophiles: 1. Combined effects of selected SN2- and SNAr-reactive agents with a nonpolar narcotic.

Dosage Studied

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" By incorporating TDT values, shapes of the dose-response curves, chemical reactivity data with thiol, reactive mechanisms for the soft electrophiles, and quantitative structure activity relationship information on whether the toxicity of the individual soft electrophiles did or did not exceeded that predicted for baseline narcosis, the results suggested that the alpha-halogens elicited two toxic effects at the concentrations tested (reactivity and narcotizing effects), whereas toxicity induced by the halogenated dinitrobenzenes was essentially limited to reactive effects."( Time dependence in mixture toxicity with soft electrophiles: 1. Combined effects of selected SN2- and SNAr-reactive agents with a nonpolar narcotic.
