2,4-Pentanedione (123-54-6)

?2,4-Pentanedione (CAS NO.123-54-6) is also named as 2,4-Dioxopentane ; 2,4-Pentadione ; 2-Propanone, acetyl- ; 4-01-00-03662 (Beilstein Handbook Reference) ; ACAC ; AI3-02266 ; Acetoacetone ; Acetone, acetyl- ; Acetyl 2-propanone ; Acetyl acetone ; Acetylacetone ; BRN 0741937 ; CCRIS 3466 ; Diacetylmethane ; HSDB 2064 ; NSC 5575 ; Pentan-2,4-dione ; Pentanedione ; Pentanedione-2,4?.?2,4-Pentanedione (CAS NO.123-54-6) is?colorless or yellow colored liquid.?It is?soluble in water and flammable.?2,4-Pentanedione (CAS NO.123-54-6) is a kind of ketones which are reactive with many acids and bases liberating heat and flammable gases (e.g., H₂). The amount of heat may be sufficient to start a fire in the unreacted portion of the ketone. Ketones react with reducing agents such as hydrides, alkali metals, and nitrides to produce flammable gas (H₂) and heat. Ketones are incompatible with isocyanates, aldehydes, cyanides, peroxides, and anhydrides. They react violently with aldehydes, HNO₃, HNO₃ + H₂O₂, and HClO₄. It may dissolve plastics. Inhalation causes dizziness, headache, nausea, vomiting and loss of consciousness. Contact with liquid irritates eyes. Vapor may travel to a source of ignition and flash back.
