| 3-Hexanone Usage And Synthesis |
| Description | May be synthesized from organo-mercury compounds; by dehydrogenation of 3-hexanol in the presence of Ni-zinc oxide-phosphate catalyst; by hydrogenolysis of 2-ethylfuran; by passing
(5-furylpropionic acid (or 2-furanpropionic acid) over 5% Pt-C
catalyst to 250 to 300°C; by two patented processes. | | Chemical Properties | 3-Hexanone has an ethereal, grape, wine-like odor
| | Chemical Properties | colourless liquid | | Occurrence | Reported found in coffee and, as a component in the volatile by-product developed during the catalytic hydrogenation of soybean oil using Ni catalysts; in the scent of green vegetable Nezara viridula. Also reported found in lime peel oil, black
currants, peach, pineapple, fried potato, Parmesan cheese, butter, milk, eggs, beef, fried pork, beer, rum, cocoa, coffee, filberts, passion fruit, plumcot, rose apple, mango, lemon balm, crab, Cape gooseberry and sweet grass oil. | | Uses | Solvent. | | Uses | 3-Hexanone can be used as an analytical standard for the determination of the analyte in foods, and alcoholic beverages by liquid chromatography (LC) based methods. | | Uses | 3-Hexanone was used in a study to determine Henry′s law coefficients by combination of the equilibrium partitioning in closed systems technique in combination with solid-phase microextraction. It was used as test species in a study for quantitative determination of volatile organic compounds by chemical ionization reaction mass spectrometry. It was used to study the inhibitory activity of some aromatic and aliphatic ketones against Clostridium Botulinum spores and cells. | | Preparation | From organo-mercury compounds; by dehydrogenation of 3-hexanol in the presence of Ni-zinc oxide-phosphate catalyst;
by hydrogenolysis of 2-ethylfuran; by passing β-furylpropionic acid (or 2-furanpropionic acid) over 5% Pt-C catalyst from 250 to
300°C; by two patented processes | | Aroma threshold values | Detection: 41 to 81 ppb | | Taste threshold values | Taste characteristics at 30 ppm: sweet, fruity and waxy with rum notes | | Synthesis Reference(s) | Journal of the American Chemical Society, 96, p. 4721, 1974 DOI: 10.1021/ja00821a085The Journal of Organic Chemistry, 45, p. 2269, 1980Tetrahedron Letters, 11, p. 27, 1970 | | General Description | 3-Hexanone, a volatile dialkyl ketone, is a well-known flavor and aroma ingredient present in food and beverage products. | | Hazard | Toxic by ingestion and inhalation, strong
irritant. Flammable, moderate fire risk. |
