Introduction
β-butanone, also known as β-Turkone, is an organic compound. The following is an introduction to the properties, uses, preparation methods and safety information of β-butanone:
Quality:
- β-MEK is a colorless liquid with a special aromatic taste.
- The common β-butanone is the formation of dimers and polymers by hydrogen bonds within the molecule, which can lead to changes in its properties.
Use:
- β-MEKT is widely used in the chemical industry as a solvent, reactant and intermediate.
- It is also used as a solvent for paints and glues and in the printing and dye industries.
Method:
- β-MEKONE can be synthesized by ketone deterioration reaction. This reaction is to react butanol with ammonium chloride and penta[2,2,2] oxide to produce β-butanone at the appropriate temperature.
Safety Information:
- β-MEKT has low toxicity but still needs to be handled with care.
- It is a flammable liquid and should be kept away from open flames and high-temperature sources.
- Good ventilation should be maintained when handling or storing β-butanone.
- Care should be taken to avoid direct contact with skin and eyes when using.
