Description

Application
Mesityl oxide is mainly used as an industrial solvent and as an intermediate in the manufacture of other chemicals.

Purpose
Its primary purpose is to serve as a solvent and chemical building block in industrial processes.

General Description
Mesityl oxide also known as 4-methyl-3-penten-2-one is an unsaturated ketone produced by the dehydration of diacetone alcohol. It is useful because of its solvent properties and its reactive carboncarbon double bond which allows it to participate in further chemical reactions.
