Acetone, also known as dimethyl ketone, is an organic compound with the molecular formula C3H6O, which is the simplest saturated ketone. It is a colorless flammable liquid with a mint odor at room temperature and pressure. Easy to dissolve in water and organic solvents such as methanol, ethanol, ether, chloroform, pyridine, etc. Flammable, volatile, and chemically active. In industry, it is mainly used as a solvent in industries such as explosives, plastics, rubber, fibers, leather making, oils, and paint spraying. It can also be used as an important raw material for the synthesis of ketones, acetic anhydride, iodoform, polyisoprene rubber, methyl methacrylate, chloroform, epoxy resin, and other substances. It is often used as a drug raw material by criminals, such as bromophenylacetone.
Product application
