  2-Hexanone (methyl butyl ketone, MBK) is a ketone used as a general solvent and in paints. It dissolves cellulose nitrate, vinyl polymers and copolymers, and natural and synthetic resins. It is recommended as a solvent because it is photochemically inactive; however it has a very low safe threshold limit value.

Synthesis

Acetonitrile  +  1-Chlorobutane (Grignard carbonyl)

2-HEXANOL  +  dimethyl sulfide (Corey-Kim oxidation of secondary alcohols)
