Applications
2,4-Dimethyl-3-pentanone is used in an experimental method to measure the equilibrium isotopic fractionation factor (αeq ) for C-bound H positions adjacent to carbonyl group in ketones.It is a carbonyl compound used in an experimental method to measure the equilibrium isotopic fractionation factor (αeq ) for C-bound H positions adjacent to carbonyl group in ketones. Isobutyrone is a very useful synthetic intermediate. It is an intermediate used to prepare α-aryl ketones. It is also used in Grignard reactions.

Solubility
Not miscible or difficult to mix in water. Soluble in alcohol.

Notes
Store away from oxidizing agents. Keep the container tightly closed and place it in a cool, dry and well ventilated condition. Protect from ignition sources. Keep away from electrostatic charges.
