Chemistry & Uses
Year of discovery :
Data not available.
Natural availability :
Methyl Hexyl Ketone is present in Lavandin EO, Ruta graveolens and several foods such as certain cheeses. Therefore, it can be extracted from Lavandin EO. However, synthetic Methyl Hexyl Ketone in most often used in perfumery.
Isomerism :
When the ketone function of Methyl Hexyl Ketone is relocated, the smell can radically change. For example, Ethyl Pentyl Ketone has a more lavender and mushroom smell. 1,3 Octenol and Aldehyde C-8 are constitutional isomers of Methyl Hexyl Ketone. Their smell is closer to mushroom or more aldehyde.
Synthesis precursor :
In contrast to its synthesis, a hydrogenation of Methyl Hexyl Ketone converts it to 2-octanol, which also has an olfactory interest.
Synthesis route :
Methyl Hexyl Ketone is synthesized by a catalytic oxidation of 2-octanol. This oxidation can be done in the presence of sodium hypochlorite at a high temperature, for example.
Stability :
Stable in perfumes and diverse functional bases
Other comments :
Comparing it with Methyl Hexyl Ketone, the latter has a more earthy than mushroom smell, as does Methyl Amyl Ketone.
