Methyl isobutyl ketone
CAS RN:
108-10-1
Reactivities / IncompatibilitiesIncompatible with strong oxidizers and can react vigorously with reducing agents. Ignites on contact with potassium-t-butoxide ... May form explosive peroxides upon exposure to air. Can react vigorously with reducing material. 4-Methyl-2-pentanone had not been considered prone to autoxidation, but an explosion during prolonged and repeated aerobic hot evaporation of the solvent was attributed to formation and explosion of a peroxide. |
