Preparation of 4-Methyl-2-pentanone:
4-Methyl-2-pentanone is manufactured from acetone via a three-step process. Firstly acetone undergoes an aldol condensation to give diacetone alcohol, which readily dehydrates to give mesityl oxide. Mesityl oxide can then be hydrogenated to give MIBK:

Uses of 4-Methyl-2-pentanone:
it can be used to produce 4-methyl-pentan-2-ol at temperature of 82 °C. It will need reagent KOH and solvent propan-2-ol with reaction time of 12 hours. The yield is about 96%.
