Utilisation

Uses

Other comments :

Stability :

Data not available.

Uses in perfumery :

Butanone is a perfumery solvent, rarely found in perfumes. It does not guarantee a better stability of raw materials and perfume concentrates than other solvents.
In particular, Butanone should not be used in the perfume concentrate of a cream base, for stability reasons.

Year of discovery :

Data not available.

Isomerism :

Butanone does not have any isomer used in perfumery.

Synthesis precursor :

Butanone is not used to synthesize another perfume compound.

Natural availability :

Butanone is present in trace in many essential oils and in few everyday products. It is a molecule available in its natural state.

Synthesis route :

Butanone can be prepared from Ethyl Acetoacetate in contact with a barium hydroxide solution. When heating it, the solution rejects carbon dioxide, and forms ethanol and the desired molecule.
