DIACETONE ALCOHOL (for synthesis) is a product provided by Research-Lab Fine Chem Industries. Laboratory reagents are chemicals which are used in laboratories as a part of experimental procedures. These reagents can be important parts of chemical reactions, analytical reagents or starting material for the production of other materials.

This DIACETONE ALCOHOL is meant for synthesis and is of laboratory grade. This reagent is an alcohol which is moderately soluble in water. Diacetone alcohol can be produced by the Ba(OH)2-catalyzed condensation of two molecules of acetone. While it is stable under general conditions, this reagent is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents. Diacetone alcohol has a variety of applications in chemical and biological sectors.

This compound finds several applications in the synthesis of various organic derivatives.

Diacetone alcohol is employed in cellulose ester lacquers, principally of the brushing type, where it produces brilliant gloss and hard film.

It is additionally used to make artificial silk and leather; in imitation gold leaf; in celluloid cements; as a preservative for animal tissue etc.

Diacetone alcohol is furthermore used in lacquer thinners, dopes, wood stains, wood preservatives and printing pastes; in coating compositions for paper and textiles etc. among other applications.

This reagent is suitable for the industrial synthesis of products and research applications.
