Description

Description

2-Hexanone acts as a solvent for lacquers, ink thinners, nitrocellulose, resins and waxes. It is also employed in the preparation of (±)-monomorine. It also plays a useful role in the preparation of alcohols by transfer hydrogenation of ketones. Further, it is used as a medium evaporating solvent for nitrocellulose acrylates, vinyl and alkyd coatings.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
