Manufacturing Process of Methyl N-Amyl Ketone (MAK)

The extensive Methyl N-Amyl Ketone (MAK) production cost report consists of the following industrial production process:

• Production by Reductive Condensation Method: The process initiates with the chemical reaction between acetone and butyraldehyde in the presence of a reducing agent, which facilitates the process of reductive condensation reaction and generates Methyl N-Amyl Ketone (MAK) as the final product.

Methyl N-amyl ketone or MAK is a clear, colorless liquid chemical with the chemical formula CH3(CH2)4COCH3. It comprises seven carbon, fourteen hydrogen, and one oxygen atom. It is a flammable chemical with a molecular mass of 114.19 g/mol. It is also known as 2-heptanone.

The compound is a dialkyl ketone with a methyl group attached to it. It has a strong, characteristic fruity odor with a pear-like flavor. Its melting and boiling points are measured approximately around -35 °C and 150 °C, respectively. Its flash point is measured at 39 °C. It is poorly soluble in water, while it can be dissolved in other chemical solvents.

It is chemically miscible in ethanol and ethers. Its vapor pressure is 3.85 mm Hg at a standard temperature of 25 °C. Its autoignition temperature is measured approximately at 393 °C. It decomposes on heating at higher temperatures while releasing acrid smoke in the air. It is a corrosive chemical liquid that has the ability to corrode a few varieties of plastics.
