2-Octanone is anorganic compound with the formulaCH3C(O)C6H13. It is a colorless volatile liquid that is produced commercially for use in the fragrance industry. It is produced by the condensation ofacetone andpentanal followed byhydrogenation of thealkene. It can also be produced by selectiveoxidation of1-octene.[2] It is one of three octanones, the others being3-octanone and 4-octanone. It is a common if trace component of many cooked foods.[3]
