3-Methylcyclohexanone 98% CAS NO. 591-24-2 Industrial Grade
This high-purity 3-Methylcyclohexanone is a clear, colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic ketone-like odor, featuring a purity exceeding 98%. As a substituted cyclohexanone derivative, it offers excellent solvency properties and serves as a valuable chemical intermediate in organic synthesis. Its unique molecular structure provides modified polarity and evaporation characteristics compared to unsubstituted cyclohexanone, making it ideal for specialized coating formulations, pharmaceutical synthesis, and industrial applications requiring a high-boiling point solvent with tailored performance.
Scope of Application
· This product is widely used as a high-boiling solvent in vinyl resins, nitrocellulose lacquers, acrylic coatings, and polyurethane systems where controlled evaporation and enhanced solvency are required.
· It serves as an effective chemical intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, fragrances, and other organic compounds incorporating the 3-methylcyclohexyl moiety.
· It can be used as a reaction medium for oxidation, condensation, and polymerization processes requiring a stable, high-boiling solvent.
· It is also employed in printing inks, adhesives, industrial cleaning formulations, and as a processing aid in polymer manufacturing.
Product Features
This 3-Methylcyclohexanone is produced via advanced catalytic hydrogenation or controlled oxidation technologies, ensuring consistent quality and batch-to-batch stability. With a purity exceeding 98% (verified by GC analysis), it offers reliable and predictable performance in demanding applications. The methyl substitution at the 3-position modifies the solvent properties compared to cyclohexanone, offering adjusted polarity, evaporation rate, and solvency characteristics beneficial for specialized formulations. It features low water content and strict control of organic impurities, ensuring optimal performance in sensitive synthesis and coating applications. The product maintains a favorable boiling point range suitable for high-temperature processes while providing good chemical stability under recommended storage conditions. Advanced analytical instruments including Gas Chromatography (GC) and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) are employed to ensure the product meets stringent industrial standards.
