					 Description  | 
				
					 2-Octanone has a floral and bitter, green, fruity (unripe apple) odor with a bitter camphoraceous taste. May be synthesized by the oxidation of methyl hexyl carbinol with K2Cr2O7 and sulfuric acid; also by oxidation of 2-octanol over zinc oxide at 330 - 340°C.  |

					 2-Octanone has a floral and bitter, green, fruity (unripe apple) odor and bitter, camphoraceous taste.  | 
			
| 
					 Chemical Properties  | 
				
					 Colorless liquid; pleasant odor; cam-phor taste. Insoluble in water; solublein alcohol, hydrocarbons, ether, esters, etc. Com-bustible.  | 
			
| 
					 Uses  | 
				
					 Perfumes, high-boiling solvent, especiallyfor epoxy resin coatings, leather finishes, flavor-ing, odorant, antiblushing agent for nitrocelluloselacquers.  | 
			
| 
					 Production Methods  | 
				
					 2-Octanone can be produced by oxidation of methyl hexyl carbinol, 2-octanol, or 1-octene or by reductive condensation of acetone with pentanol. Commercial samples can have a purity of 98%.  | 
			
| 
					 Preparation  |
