Description
Diacetone alcohol is a bifunctional organic solvent and intermediate supplied at minimum 98 % purity for synthesis, with CAS number 123-42-2 and empirical formula C₆H₁₂O₂. Its molar mass is 116,16 g/mol and the density ranges from 0,93 to 0,94 g/cm³, supporting accurate volume-to-mass conversions in formulation work. The flash point is 58,5 °C and the boiling point is 166 °C, defining a practical handling window for many laboratory and process applications. Specification data from manufacturer Carl ROTH cover identity, molar mass and thermal properties needed for safe process design. Chemists use diacetone alcohol where a keto-alcohol structure aids solubility of resins, coatings intermediates and related organics. The material is listed under EG number 204-626-7 and UN number 1148. Documented density and boiling behaviour help maintain reproducible reaction and evaporation conditions across experimental series.
This article is part of Analytical grade solvents (p.a.), in Solvents.

Questions about Diacetone alcohol, min. 98 %, for synthesis, 250 ml, glass
What is this article?
Diacetone alcohol, min. 98 %, for synthesis, 250 ml, glass is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Analytical grade solvents (p.a.), inside Solvents, in Lab chemicals.
An analytical-grade solvent, often marked p.a., has impurity limits tight enough for classical analysis and for preparing reagents. It is not automatically low enough in UV absorbance for HPLC, and it is not dry enough for a water-sensitive reaction. The grade is the purchase.
A solvent dissolves. The grade says which impurities are low enough for the method. Analytical grade is the ordinary pure solvent. HPLC and LC-MS grades limit the absorbance and the ions that would become peaks or background. A dry solvent has had water removed. A deuterated solvent is for NMR, where the hydrogen signal would otherwise drown the sample. Technical grade is for cleaning and for synthesis that does not need a chromatogram. Identity is on PubChem. Names follow IUPAC. Hazards follow ECHA, the CLP Regulation and REACH.
Which category should I open next?
The category is Solvents. The sub-category is Analytical grade solvents (p.a.). The catalogue is Lab chemicals.
Shelves beside this one are HPLC & LC-MS grade solvents, Dry & deuterated solvents (NMR, synthesis), Technical & synthesis grade solvents and Green & alternative solvents.
What should I check before I order?
