Description
2-octanone is a kind of natural ketone found in many sources such as coco, baked peanuts, potato, cheese, beer, banana and oranges. It can be used as a flavor and fragrance ingredient. It is used in the field of fiber, medicine, pesticides and spices for the synthesis of fiber oil, defoamer and the preparation of surfactants, coal flotation agent. 2-Octanone has a floral and bitter, green, fruity (unripe apple) odor
with a bitter camphoraceous taste. May be synthesized by the
oxidation of methyl hexyl carbinol with K2Cr2O7 and sulfuric acid;
also by oxidation of 2-octanol over zinc oxide at 330 - 340°C.

Uses
2-Octanone is used in perfumes, high-boiling solvent, especially for epoxy resin coatings and in leather finishes. It is used in flavoring, odorant. It can act as antiblushing agent for nitrocellulose lacquers. Perfumes, high-boiling solvent, especiallyfor epoxy resin coatings, leather finishes, flavor-ing, odorant, antiblushing agent for nitrocelluloselacquers. 2-Octanone may be used as an analytical reference standard for the quantification of the analyte in sugar-cane spirits and rum samples and whey protein concentrate using chromatography based techniques.
