3,6-Octandione is supplied as a ketone building block (CAS 2955-65-9, C8H14O2) in kilogram lots.

A ketone is a branch point rather than a terminus: alkylation, condensation and reduction to the secondary alcohol all start at the carbonyl carbon.

The formula C8H14O2 resolves to 8 carbons with 2 oxygens. A 8-carbon chain sits between volatility and lipophilicity, which is the range most often used when a fragment has to stay in the organic phase without being waxy.

Handling and storage

Ketones are stored closed and dry; enolisable ketones are checked for colour before use.

Ordering

Shipped in 1kg / 25kg / 100kg units with a batch certificate of analysis and a GHS safety data sheet; a smaller sample can be quoted separately. Assay is lot specific and stated on the certificate; no catalogue grade is implied where no assay is held on file.
