1-hydroxydecan-3-one Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Chemical Properties

Colorless oily liquid. Insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils.

Uses

1-Hydroxy-3-decanone is rarely offered as such commercially, but it may occur as part of various reaction mixtures intended for use in soap perfumery as Lavender-reinforcing agents.

Uses

In general, 1-Hydroxy-3-decanone is produced as bera- or 1,3-ketols by the condensation of formaldehyde with various ketones, first of all the ketones already known to have Lavender effects: Methyl hexyl ketone, Ethyl amyl ketone, Methyl heptyl ketone, etc. The condensation leads to primary 1,3-ketols, and the perfume material may or may not be a single, well-defined chemical.
