Description
2,4-Dimethyl-3-pentanone is used in an experimental method to measure the equilibrium isotopic fractionation factor (αeq ) for C-bound H positions adjacent to carbonyl group in ketones.It is a carbonyl compound used in an experimental method to measure the equilibrium isotopic fractionation factor (αeq ) for C-bound H positions adjacent to carbonyl group in ketones. Isobutyrone is a very useful synthetic intermediate. It is an intermediate used to prepare α-aryl ketones. It is also used in Grignard reactions.
