Acetylacetone Chemical Properties,Uses,Production
Acetone derivatives
Acetylacetone is a derivative of acetone; chemical formula: CH3COCH2COCH3; It is colorless to pale yellow transparent liquid. It is usually the mixture is enol form and keto form which are the tautomers of each other; these two forms are in dynamic equilibrium; enol isomer forms hydrogen bonds inside the molecule; in the mixture, the keto form accounts for about 18% and enol type accounted for 82%. Cool the petroleum ether of their mixture to-78 °C so the enol will be precipitated as a solid and the two forms will be separated with each other. Upon the enol form being returned back to room temperature, the above equilibrium will be restored.

Production Methods
2,4-Pentanedione is produced by thermal or metal-catalyzed rearrangement of isopropenyl acetate(obtained from acetone and ketene):
Isopropenyl acetate vapor is fed at atmospheric pressure through a V2A steel tube with an inner temperature of 520℃. The hot reaction gases are quenched, condensed, and cooled to 20℃, whereby the gaseous byproducts carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, methane, and ketene are separated. The product is purified by fractional distillation. Other industrially less important processes for the production of 2,4-pentanedione, include the Claisen ester condensation of ethyl acetate with acetone using sodium ethoxide as condensation agent and the acetylation of acetoacetic acid esters with acetic anhydride in the presence of magnesium salts.
Definition
ChEBI: A beta-diketone that is pentane in which the hydrogens at positions 2 and 4 are replaced by oxo groups.
Application
Acetylacetone, also known as 2,4-pentanedione, is an important commodity chemical and widely used as a fuel additive, as dyeing intermediate, in the fields of metal extraction, metal plating, and resin modification. Hantzsch reaction was used as a derivatizing agent for the assay of compounds having a primary amino group. The reagent was reacted with the primary amino group of the drugs to form a product having color and/or emit fluorescence. This condensation reaction was distinguished by its precision, reproducibility, and analytical cost reduction. FLX contains an aliphatic amino group, in the presence of formaldehyde solution, this amino group can condense with two equivalents of acetylacetone to form dihydropyridine derivative that emits yellow fluorescent product. (Figure1). Under optimized conditions of the reaction, FLX gave highly fluorescent product measured at λem 479 nm using 419 nm as excitation.

Reactivity Profile
Ketones, such as 2,4-Pentanedione, are reactive with many acids and bases liberating heat and flammable gases (e.g., H2). The amount of heat may be sufficient to start a fire in the unreacted portion of the ketone. Ketones react with reducing agents such as hydrides, alkali metals, and nitrides to produce flammable gas (H2) and heat. Ketones are incompatible with isocyanates, aldehydes, cyanides, peroxides, and anhydrides. They react violently with aldehydes, HNO3, HNO3 + H2O2, and HClO4. May dissolve plastics [USCG, 1999].
Health Hazard
Exposure to the vapors of acetyl acetone cancause irritation of the eyes, mucous membrane, and skin. In rabbits 4.76 mg producedsevere eye irritation; the effect on skin wasmild. Other than these, the health hazardsfrom this compound have not been reported.However, based on its structure and the factthat it has two reactive carbonyl groups inthe molecule, this compound should exhibitlow to moderate toxicity at high concentrations, which should be greater than that ofthe C5-monoketones.

LD50 value, oral (rats): 1000 mg/kg
There is no report on its carcinogenicity inanimals or humans.
Fire Hazard
Behavior in Fire: Vapor is heavier than air and may travel to a source of ignition and flash back.
Safety Profile
Poison by ingestion and intraperitoneal routes. Moderately toxic by inhalation. A skin and severe eye irritant. Experimental reproductive effects. Mutation data reported. Flammable liquid when exposed to heat or flame. Incompatible with oxidning materials. To fight fire, use alcohol foam, CO2, dry chemical.

Purification Methods
Small amounts of acetic acid are removed by shaking with small portions of 2M NaOH until the aqueous phase remains faintly alkaline. The sample, after washing with water, is dried with anhydrous Na2SO4, and distilled through a modified Vigreux column (p 11) Cartledge J Am Chem Soc 73 4416 1951]. An additional purification step is fractional crystallisation from the liquid. Alternatively, there is less loss of acetylacetone if it is dissolved in four volumes of *benzene and the solution is shaken three times with an equal volume of distilled water (to extract acetic acid): the *benzene is then removed by distillation at 43-53o and 20-30mm through a helices-packed column. It is then refluxed over P2O5 (10g/L) and fractionally distilled under reduced pressure. The distillate (sp conductivity 4 x 10-8 ohm-1cm-1) is suitable for polarography [Fujinaga & Lee Talanta 24 395 1977]. To recover used acetylacetone, metal ions are stripped from the solution at pH 1 (using 100mL 0.1M H2SO4/L of acetylacetone). The acetylacetone is then washed with (1:10) ammonia solution (100mL/L) and with distilled water (100mL/L, twice), then treated as above. It complexes with Al, Be, Ca, Cd, Ce , Cu, Fe2+, Fe3+ , Mn, Mg, Ni, Pb and Zn. [Beilstein 1 H 777, 1 I 401, 1 II 831, 1 III 3113, 1 IV 3662.]
Incompatibilities
Vapors may form explosive mixture with air. Incompatible with oxidizers (chlorates, nitrates, peroxides, permanganates, perchlorates, chlorine, bromine, fluorine, etc.); contact may cause fires or explosions. Keep away from alkaline materials, strong bases, strong acids, oxoacids, epoxides. reducing agents; halogens, aliphatic amines; alkanolamines, organic acids; isocyanates. Strong light may cause polymerization.
Waste Disposal
Dissolve or mix the material with a combustible solvent and burn in a chemical incinerator equipped with an afterburner and scrubber. All federal, state, and local environmental regulations must be observed.
Precautions
Occupational workers should only use/handle acetyl acetone in a well-ventilated area, with spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment. Workers should not cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, pressurize, or expose empty containers to heat, sparks, or flames.
