Product Details
2,6-Dimethyl-4-heptanone CAS#108-83-8
2,6-Dimethyl-4-heptanone, also known as diisobutyl ketone, belongs to the ketone family and acts as a flavoring component. It can serve as an extraction solvent for determining ten trace metals (V, Cr, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Mo, Cd, Pb) in aqueous samples via plasmaleic-anhydride.html">ma atomic emission spectrometry. A similar principle applies to phosphorus measurement when using 2,6-dimethyl-4-heptanone as the extraction agent. It is also a widely used important organic solvent and industrial intermediate.
