Acetylacetone
Odor: characteristic Use: Acetyl Acetone is a clear, colorless to light yellow liquid ketone with a pleasant odor. Other common names of Acetyl Acetone include 2,4-Pentanedione, Pentan-2,4-dione, Diacetylmethane, and Acetyl 2-propanone. For short, Acetyl Acetone is often referred to as AcAc.
Acetyl Acetone is one of the simplest liquid beta-diketones with the empirical formula of C5H8O.
Production of Acetyl Acetone is most often accomplished by the rearrangement of Isopropenyl Acetate, however other ways exist such as the addition and decarboxylation of Ethyl Acetoacetate and Ketene. |
