Description
3-Octanone has a strong, penetrating, fruity odor reminiscent of
lavender. It can be prepared by passing a mixture of vapors of
caproic acid and acetic acid over ThO2 at 400°C, or by oxidation
of d-ethyl n-amyl carbinol with chromates; another synthetic route
is reported.

Uses
3-Octanone can be produced by oxidation of 3-octanol or by
heating propionic acid and caproic acid over thorium oxide.
3-Octanone is used as an ingredient in soaps, perfumes,
lotions, and creams. It is also used as a flavoring agent in
foods. U.S. production and importation of 3-octanone was
estimated to be relatively low (,25,000 lb at a single site) in
2005 as data for 3-octanone were not included in the 2006
U.S. EPA Inventory Update Reporting database. Perfumery, solvent for nitrocellulose and vinyl
resins. 3-Octanone was used to study the effect of TiO2 photo catalyst on the rate and the ratio of products generated in photo catalytic oxidation of 3-octanone. It is used as a flavor and fragrance ingredient.
