2,6-DIMETHYL-2,5-HEPTADIEN-4-ONE Usage And Synthesis

General Description	A yellowish liquid with a solvent-like odor. Density 7.3 lb / gal. Very low vapor pressure (0.38 mm Hg at 68°F). Flash point 185°F. Combustible but difficult to ignite. Used as a solvent for lacquers and coatings.
Air & Water Reactions	Slightly soluble in water.
Reactivity Profile	Ketones, such as 2,6-DIMETHYL-2,5-HEPTADIEN-4-ONE, 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.
Health Hazard	Inhalation or contact with material may irritate or burn skin and eyes. Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Vapors may cause dizziness or suffocation. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may cause pollution.
