[Chemical Knowledge]:Properties and Uses of 3-Heptanone

3-heptanone is an important organic chemical raw material, widely used in medicine, pesticides, spices, dyes and other fields. This article will detail the properties and uses of 3-heptanone.

1. the properties of 3-heptanone

1. Physical properties

3-heptanone is a colorless transparent liquid with a special smell. It has a boiling point of 164~165 ℃, a density of 0.825g/cm3, a refractive index of 1.4058 and a flash point of 52 ℃. 3-heptanone is insoluble in water, but can be miscible with alcohol, ether, benzene and other organic solvents.

2. chemical properties of

3-heptanone with ketone generality, can occur addition, oxidation, reduction, condensation and other reactions. For example, 3-heptanone can react with hydrogen to generate 3-heptanol; Condensation reaction with alcohol to generate ketoaldehyde; Oxidation by acidic potassium permanganate to propionic acid, etc.

2. 3-heptanone use

1.

in the field of medicine 3-heptanone can be used as pharmaceutical intermediates for the synthesis of antibacterial drugs, anti-inflammatory drugs, anticancer drugs and other drugs. For example, 3-heptanone can synthesize fluoroquinolone antibacterial drugs such as ciprofloxacin, which have a broad-spectrum antibacterial effect on a variety of bacteria and are widely used in the treatment of infectious diseases.
