Methyl heptenone NEW

Methyl heptenone

Product Information

• Product Code：H012001

• English Name：Methyl heptenone

• English Alias：6-methylhept-5-en-2-one

• CAS No.：110-93-0

• Molecular Formula：C₈H₁₄O

• Molecular Weight：126.20

Advantages

• High-Purity Reference Standard：Confirmed by GC-MS (≥99.5%), NMR (1H, 13C), and IR, suitable for quality control and analysis of fragrances and pharmaceutical intermediates.

• Stability Assurance：Stable for 24 months at 2-8℃ under light-protected, sealed storage; purity decrease <0.5% within 6 months at room temperature (25℃).

Applications

• Fragrance Industry：As a key intermediate for synthesizing terpenoid fragrances like ionone and irone, used in daily chemical perfumes (e.g., floral fragrances, toiletries) to impart fresh fruity and woody notes.

• Pharmaceutical Intermediates：Used in synthesizing antifungal drugs (e.g., terbinafine) and vitamin A derivatives, constructing drug core skeletons via chemical reactions of double bonds and carbonyl groups.

• Organic Synthesis：Acts as a Michael acceptor in conjugate addition reactions or constructs complex cyclic structures via aldol condensation, applied in total synthesis of natural products (e.g., insect pheromones).

Background Description

Research Status

• Synthesis Processes：

• Traditional method: Prepared by aldol condensation and dehydration of acetone and 3-methylbutyraldehyde, with a yield of ~70%;

• Green process: Enzyme-catalyzed aldol condensation in ionic liquids at mild conditions (40℃, pH=7) increases yield to 85% with reduced organic solvent use.

• Analytical Techniques：GC-FID with chiral columns (e.g., Chirasil-Dex) separates and detects isomers, with an LOD of 0.1 mg/kg for food fragrance impurity control.

• Application Expansion：Recent studies show its use as a biobased platform compound for catalytic hydrogenation to high-value alcohols or as a monomer for degradable polymers, promoting green chemistry.
