[Safety Profile]

Poison by intraperitoneal route. Moderately irritating to skin, eyes, and mucous membranes by inhalation. Narcotic in high concentration. Flammable liquid when exposed to heat, sparks, flame, or oxidizers. To fight fire, use foam, CO2, dry chemical. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke. See also KETONES.

Hazard InformationBack Directory
[General Description]

A clear colorless liquid with a pungent odor. Insoluble in water and partially soluble in alcohol. Flash point of 138°F. Vapors are denser than air and may have a narcotic effect in high concentrations. Used in making perfumes and as a solvent for nitrocellulose and vinyl resins.
[Reactivity Profile]

Ketones, such as ETHYL AMYL KETONE(106-68-3), are reactive with many acids and bases liberating heat and flammable gases (e.g., H2). The amount of heat may be sufficient to start a fire in the unreacted portion of the ketone. Ketones react with reducing agents such as hydrides, alkali metals, and nitrides to produce flammable gas (H2) and heat. Ketones are incompatible with isocyanates, aldehydes, cyanides, peroxides, and anhydrides. They react violently with aldehydes, HNO3, HNO3 + H2O2, and HClO4.
[Air & Water Reactions]

Flammable. Insoluble in water.
[Hazard]

Narcotic in high concentration. Moderate fire risk.
[Health Hazard]

May be harmful by inhalation, ingestion or skin absorption. Vapor or mist is irritating to eyes, mucous membrane and upper respiratory tract. Causes skin irritation.
[Fire Hazard]

Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Vapor may travel considerable distance to a source of ignition and flash back.
[Description]

3-Octanone has a strong, penetrating, fruity odor reminiscent of lavender. It can be prepared by passing a mixture of vapors of caproic acid and acetic acid over ThO2 at 400°C, or by oxidation of d-ethyl n-amyl carbinol with chromates; another synthetic route is reported.

[Definition]

ChEBI: 3-octanone is a dialkyl ketone that is octane in which the two methylene protons at position 3 have been replaced by an oxo group. It has a role as a human urinary metabolite, an insect attractant, a fungal metabolite, an antifeedant, a plant metabolite and a biomarker. It derives from a hydride of an octane.
[Preparation]

By heating propionic and caproic acids over thorium oxide or by oxidation of ethyl amyl carbinol (3-octanol) (Arctander, 1969).
[Aroma threshold values]

Detection: 21 to 50 ppb
[Taste threshold values]
