2-pentanone
Sign in to saveAlso known as ethyl acetone, MPK, methyl propyl ketone, pentanone, pentan-2-one, methyl-propyl-cetone, methyl n-propyl ketone, methyl-n-propyl ketone
2-Pentanone or methyl propyl ketone (MPK) is a ketone and solvent of minor importance. It is comparable to methyl ethyl ketone, but has a lower solvency and is more expensive. It occurs naturally in Nicotiana tabacum (Tobacco) and blue cheese as a metabolic product of Penicillium mold growth.
