5-Nonanone
5-Nonanone, or dibutyl ketone, is the organic compound with the formula (CH3CH2CH2CH2)2CO. This colorless liquid is a symmetrical ketone. Synthesis 5-Nonanone, which is potentially of interest as a diesel fuel, can be produced from levulinic acid, which can be produced from fructose. Levulinic acid is converted to valeric acid, which undergoes ketonization. Toxicology Metabolic pathway 5-Nonanone was expected to be metabolized to a γ-diketone (a diketone with the second oxygen three carbons away from the first, e.g. 2,5- or 3,6-diketones). Metabolic studies confirmed the ''in vivo'' ω-oxidation of 5-nonanone to 2,5-nonanedione and 2-hexanone. Subsequent oxidative and decarboxylative steps also produce 2,5-hexanedione. Besides these metabolites, 38% of the 5-nonanone dose is converted to carbon dioxide. No unchanged 5-nonanone is detected in the urine after administration. Of these metabolites, 2,5-hexanedione is believed to be the most neurotoxic compound. Of all the af ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
