Description and Uses

2, 6-Dimethyl-4-heptanone, also known as diisobutyl ketone, belongs to the family of ketones, being a flavoring ingredient. It can also be used as the extraction solvent for the determination of ten trace metals (V, Cr, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Mo, Cd, Pb) in aqueous samples with plasma atomic emission spectrometry. Similar logic can also be applied to the measurement of phosphorus using 2, 6-dimethyl-4-heptanone as the extraction agent. It is also an important organic solvent widely used as industrial intermediates.

Diisobutyl ketone is used as a solvent fornitrocellulose, lacquers, and synthetic resins;in organic syntheses.
