3-buten-2-one (also methyl vinyl ketone ) is the simplest unsaturated ketone , a pungent-smelling liquid that polymerizes easily .
Extraction and presentation
The compound can be made by hydrating vinyl acetylene ( butenine ) in the presence of sulfuric acid and mercury (II) sulfate :
properties
3-buten-2-one is a colorless, light-sensitive liquid that boils at 81 ° C under normal pressure . The compound is completely miscible with water below 28 ° C. Above this temperature, in the range exists between about 10 and 40 mole percent of a miscibility gap .
use
3-buten-2-one is used in the manufacture of gas-impermeable plastics and as an intermediate in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals , fungicides and other chemical compounds (e.g. 2-ethoxy-buta-1,3-diene or 1-phenyl-pentane-1 , 4-dione ) is used. It is implemented, for example, by a Diels-Alder reaction or Robinson annulation .
safety instructions
3-buten-2-one tends to form explosive peroxides and to spontaneous polymerization, which can be triggered by sunlight. The vapors of 3-butene-2-one form explosive mixtures with air. The compound has a flash point of −7 ° C. The explosion range is between 2.1 vol.% As the lower explosion limit (LEL) and 15.6 vol.% As the upper explosion limit (UEL). The ignition temperature is 491 ° C. The substance therefore falls into temperature class T1.
