Toxicity | A colorless liquid used as a solvent, in paints and in the printing industry. It enters the body primarily by inhalation or skin absorption. MBK causes irritation of the skin and mucous membranes and, on continued exposure, peripheral axonopathy; the latter is due to its metabolic conversion to 2,5-hexanedione. It is known to potentiate the hepatotoxicity of haloalkanes. |
Introduction
3-Hexanol. The following is an introduction to the properties, uses, preparation methods and safety information of 3-hexanol:
Quality:
Appearance: Colorless liquid.
Molar mass: 102.18 g/mol.
Density: 0.811 g/cm³.
Miscocity: It is miscible with water, ethanol and ether solvents.
Use:
Industrial uses: 3-hexanol is widely used in the production of solvents, inks, dyes, resins, etc.
Method:
3-Hexanol can be obtained by hydrogenation of hexene. Hexene reacts with hydrogen in the presence of a suitable catalyst to form 3-hexanol.
Another preparation method is to reduce 3-hexanone to obtain 3-hexanol.
Safety Information:
3-Hexanol has a pungent odor and may have an irritating effect on the eyes, skin, and respiratory system.
3-Hexanol is a flammable liquid and should be kept away from open flames and heat sources.
When using 3-hexanol, wear personal protective equipment such as protective gloves, goggles, and protective clothing to ensure good ventilation.
