Usage

General Description

4-Undecanone, also known as methyl nonyl ketone, is a clear liquid with a fruity, slightly floral odor. It is a natural product found in the oil of rue, which is extracted from the leaves and stems of the plant, and is also produced synthetically. 4-Undecanone is commonly used as a flavoring agent and fragrance ingredient in the food and cosmetic industries. It is also employed as an insect repellent and pesticide in agricultural applications due to its ability to deter insects and pests. Additionally, 4-undecanone has been investigated for its potential antifungal and antimicrobial properties, making it a versatile compound with various practical uses. However, it is important to handle 4-undecanone with caution, as it is considered to be an irritant to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system.

Catalytic ketonisation over oxide catalysts. Part IX. Single step synthesis of aliphatic saturated and unsaturated C11 - C 13 ketones from carboxylic acids

Metameric undecan-x-ones (x = 2-6), dodecan-y-ones (y = 2-5), tridecan-z-ones (z = 4-7) and two unsaturated aliphatic ketones were prepared by vapor phase ketonisation of the appropriate monocarboxylic acids in the presence of 20 wt% MnO2/Al2O3 catalyst under flow conditions. The ketones were obtained in yields between 48 and 89% in a multigram scale (80-250 g). Their physical and spectral data have been determined.

New ketone homoenolate anion equivalents derived from (alkenyl)pentamethyl phosphoric triamides

Lithiated ambident anions derived from (1-alkyl-2-propenyl)- or (1-phenyl-2-propenyl)-pentamethyl phosphoric triamides undergo regioselectively γ-reaction with various alkylating reagents and isobutyraldehyde. Further hydrolysis of adducts releases the ketone under acid conditions. Number of synthetic applications clearly show the ketone homoenolate behaviour of these new carbanions.
