2-Pentanone Chemical Properties,Uses,Production
Description
2-Pentanone or methyl propyl ketone (MPK) is a colorless liquid ketone with the odor of fingernail polish or a strong fruity odor. It was found in apple and can be isolated from soya oil (Glycine max), pineapple and a few other plant sources. It also occurs naturally in tobacco and blue cheese as a metabolic product of Penicillium mold growth. It is a solvent of minor importance that can be used for cleaning or degreasing and becoming part of product formulation or mixture. It is also an industrial intermediate and can be used for paint additives and coating additives. It is sometimes used in very small amounts as a flavoring food additive.

Definition
ChEBI: 2-Pentanone is a pentanone carrying an oxo substituent at position 2. It has a role as a plant metabolite. It is a methyl ketone and a pentanone.
Preparation
2-Pentanone was Prepared by dry distillation of a mixture consisting of calcium acetate and calcium butyrate; also by oxidation of sodium or ammonium n-caproate with H2O2.
Application
2-Pentanone is a flavoring agent that is a clear liquid, colorless, with flowery odor. it is miscible in alcohol and ether and soluble in water. it is obtained by chemical synthesis. it is also termed methyl propyl ketone. Methyl propyl ketone (MPK) is used as a solvent, substitute for diethyl ketone, in organic synthesis.
Production Methods
MPK can be manufactured by oxidation of 2-pentanol, from ethylene and methyl acetoacetate, or by distillation of a mixture of calcium acetate and calcium butyrate. Commercial purity can be 90% MPK; however, some commercial materials are a mixture of MPK and diethylketone with small amounts of sec-amyl acetate.
Aroma threshold values
Detection: 70 ppb
Taste threshold values
Taste characteristics at 25 ppm: sweet, fruity and banana-like with a fermented nuance.
General Description
A clear colorless liquid with the odor of fingernail polish. Flash point 45°F. Less dense than water and soluble in water. Hence floats on water. Density 0.809 g / cm3. Vapors heavier than air.
Air & Water Reactions
Highly flammable. Soluble in water.
Reactivity Profile
2-Pentanone is incompatible with oxidizing agents, strong bases and reducing agents. Reacts violently with bromine trifluoride .
Hazard
Flammable, dangerous fire risk, explosivelimits in air 1.6–8.2%. Eye irritant and affects pul-monary function.
Health Hazard
Inhalation of MPK vapors can cause narcosisand irritation of the eyes and respiratorytract. Chronic poisoning from this compoundis not known. Exposure to 1500 ppm wasseverely irritating to humans and 2000 ppmfor 4 hours was fatal to rats. In guinea pigs5000 ppm produced coma.
Health Hazard
Exposure can cause irritation of eyes, nose and throat.
Fire Hazard
Flammable liquid; flash point (closed cup) 7°C (45°F); vapor density 3 (air = 1); vapor pressure 27 torr at 20°C (68°F); the vapor can travel a considerable distance to an ignition source and flash back; autoignition temperature 452°C (846°F); fire- extinguishing agent: “alcohol” foam; a water spray may be used to absorb the heat and flush the spill away from exposures. MPK forms an explosive mixture with air in the range 1.5–8.2% by volume of air. Heating with oxidizers can cause an explosion (U.S. EPA 1988).
Biochem/physiol Actions
Taste at 20 ppm
Safety Profile
Moderately toxic by ingestion and intraperitoneal routes. Mildly toxic by skin contact and inhalation. Human systemic effects by inhalation: headache, nausea, irritation of the respiratory passages, eyes, and skin. A skin irritant. Mutation data reported. A hghly flammable liquid. A very dangerous fire hazard when exposed to heat or flame; can react vigorously with oxidzing materials. An explosion hazard in the form of vapor when exposed to heat or flame. To fight fue, use alcohol foam. Mxtures with bromine trifluoride may explode during evaporation. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes. See also KETONES

Environmental Fate
Chemical/Physical. Atkinson et al. (2000) studied the gas-phase reaction of 2-pentanone with
OH radicals in purified air at 25 °C and 740 mmHg. A relative rate constant of 4.56 x 10-12
cm3/molecule·sec was calculated for this reaction. Reaction products identified by GC, FTIR, and
atmospheric pressure ionization tandem mass spectroscopy were (with respective molar yields)
were: formaldehyde, 1.03; acetaldehyde, 0.51; propanal, 0.19; 2,4-pentanedione, 0.12; and
molecular weight 147 organic nitrates.
At an influent concentration of 1.0 g/L, treatment with GAC resulted in an effluent
concentration of 305 mg/L. The adsorbability of the GAC was 139 mg/g carbon (Guisti et al.,
1974).
Will not hydrolyze in water because 3-pentanone does not contain a hydrolyzable group.

Sources of ignition, such as smoking andopen flames, are prohibited where methyl propyl ketone ishandled, used, or stored. Metal containers used in the transfer of 5 gallons or more of methyl propyl ketone should begrounded and bonded. Drums must be equipped with selfclosing valves, pressure vacuum bungs, and flame arresters.Use only nonsparking tools and equipment, especially whenopening and closing containers of methyl propyl ketone.Wherever methyl propyl ketone is used, handled, manufactured, or stored, use explosion-proof electrical equipmentand fittings.
Shipping
UN1249 Methyl propyl ketone, Hazard Class: 3; Labels: 3-Flammable liquid.
Purification Methods
Purify the ketone by refluxing it with a little KMnO4, dry it with CaSO4 and distil it. It can be converted to its bisulfite addition compound by shaking with excess saturated aqueous NaHSO3 at room temperature, cooling to 0o, filtering, washing with diethyl ether and drying. Steam distillation of the adduct gives a distillate from which the ketone is recovered, washed with aqueous NaHCO3 and distilled water, dried (K2CO3) and fractionally distilled.
