What is 4-Methyl-2-Pentanone CAS 108-10-1?

Chemical Name: 4-methyl-2-pentanone (Also known as methyl isobutyl ketone, MIBK, isohexanone)

Molecular formula: C₆H₁₂O

Molecular weight: 100.16 g/mol

CAS Number: 108-10-1

EINECS number: 203-550-1

Structural formula: CH₃COCH₂CH(CH₃)₂


4-methyl-2-pentanone (CAS 108-10-1), as a multifunctional medium-boiling-point solvent, is irreplaceable in coatings, nuclear industry and pesticide synthesis. However, high attention should be paid to its flammability, explosiveness, carcinogenicity and environmental toxicity.


Process optimization: One-step acetone method dominates industrial production, with a purity of over 99%

Safety core: Explosion-proof equipment (Ex mark), inert gas protection is required during operation, and the storage temperature should be ≤30℃


4-Methyl-2-Pentanone CAS 108-10-1 Use

1. Industrial solvents (Core uses)

Coatings and resins: Solvents for nitrocellulose, vinyl resin, and rubber adhesives, enhancing the uniformity of paint films and drying speed.

Oil product treatment: Lubricating oil dewaxing agent, mineral processing agent (such as for separating tantalum/niobium, zirconium/hafnium).

Nuclear industry: Key extractant for the separation of uranium and plutonium.


2. Chemical synthesis

Pesticide intermediates: Synthetic rodenticide rodenpyl, insecticide tetracycline solvent.

Pharmaceuticals and fragrances: Drug carrier solvents (such as pyrethroids), rum and cheese flavoring formulation.

Polymer initiator: In peroxide form, it is used in the polymerization reaction of polyester resin.


3. Laboratory and Research

Chromatographic analysis: GC reference material, used for the separation of hydrophobic compounds such as fatty acids and waxes.

Extractant: Separation of plant extracts (such as alkaloids).


4-Methyl-2-Pentanone CAS 108-10-1 safety

Health and environmental risks

Toxicity

Oral LD₅₀ in rats was 2080 mg/kg (low toxicity), but the vapor irritated the eyes and respiratory tract, and high concentrations caused central depression (nausea and vomiting).

Carcinogenicity: IARC classifies it as a Group 2B carcinogen (possibly carcinogenic to humans).

Environmental risk: Toxic to aquatic organisms (LC₅₀ goldfish 460 mg/L), leakage into water bodies must be prevented.


Operation and storage requirements

Protective measures

Gas masks (self-contained breathing apparatus is required when the ppm content is ≥50 ppm), chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile/fluororubber), and goggles.

Local exhaust system. Spark tools are prohibited.


Storage conditions

Cool and well-ventilated (≤30℃), sealed with inert gas (nitrogen), isolated from oxidants and acids.


Leakage treatment

After the sand and soil are adsorbed, they should be incinerated. It is strictly prohibited to wash them with water (they release heat when exposed to water).
