Chemical Structure

Basic Info
4-Methyl-2 -Pentanone (MIBK), an organic compound, has a molten formula of C6H12O and belongs to the class of compounds known as ketones. MIBK, a colorless and transparent liquid, has a mild ether scent, a low density, and a medium polarity. It is easily soluble with a wide range of organic solvents, but has limited miscibility to water. The chemical properties of this compound are stable. However, due to its presence in the carbonyl group it can be used for a wide range of organic chemical reactions such as addition and condensation.
Due to its excellent chemical stability, high solubility, and high volatility, 4-methyl-2 pentanone is used as a multifunctional solvant in coatings and inks. It is also used in organic synthesis and fine chemicals as an extraction solvent due to its moderate melting point and moderate volatility rate.
