3-Octanone(Cas 106-68-3) Usage

Preparation

By heating propionic and caproic acids over thorium oxide or by oxidation of ethyl amyl carbinol (3-octanol) (Arctander, 1969).

Synthesis Reference(s)

Journal of the American Chemical Society, 97, p. 6863, 1975 DOI: 10.1021/ja00856a044The Journal of Organic Chemistry, 32, p. 2356, 1967 DOI: 10.1021/jo01282a605

Air & Water Reactions

Flammable. Insoluble in water.

Reactivity Profile

Ketones, such as 3-Octanone, are reactive with many acids and bases liberating heat and flammable gases (e.g., H2). The amount of heat may be sufficient to start a fire in the unreacted portion of the ketone. Ketones react with reducing agents such as hydrides, alkali metals, and nitrides to produce flammable gas (H2) and heat. Ketones are incompatible with isocyanates, aldehydes, cyanides, peroxides, and anhydrides. They react violently with aldehydes, HNO3, HNO3 + H2O2, and HClO4.

Hazard

Narcotic in high concentration. Moderate fire risk.

Health Hazard

May be harmful by inhalation, ingestion or skin absorption. Vapor or mist is irritating to eyes, mucous membrane and upper respiratory tract. Causes skin irritation.

Fire Hazard

Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Vapor may travel considerable distance to a source of ignition and flash back.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Taste at 10 ppm

Safety Profile

Poison by intraperitoneal route. Moderately irritating to skin, eyes, and mucous membranes by inhalation. Narcotic in high concentration. Flammable liquid when exposed to heat, sparks, flame, or oxidizers. To fight fire, use foam, CO2, dry chemical. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke. See also KETONES.

Synthesis

It can be prepared by passing a mixture of vapors of caprioc acid and acetic acid over ThO2 at 400°C, or by oxidation of d-ethyl n-amyl carbinol with chromates; another synthetic route is reported.

Aroma threshold values

Detection: 21 to 50 ppb

Taste threshold values

Taste characteristics at 10 ppm: mushroom, ketonic, cheesy and moldy with a fruity nuance.

General Description

A clear colorless liquid with a pungent odor. Insoluble in water and partially soluble in alcohol. Flash point of 138°F. Vapors are denser than air and may have a narcotic effect in high concentrations. Used in making perfumes and as a solvent for nitrocellulose and vinyl resins.
