Cyclopentanone By Purandar Fine Chemicals Pvt. Ltd.

we are the popular manufacturer and supplier of Cyclopentanone in Pune, Maharashtra, India. Cyclopentanone is the organic compound with the formula (CH2)4CO. This cyclic ketone is a colorless volatile liquid. Cyclopentanone is common precursor to fragrances, especially those related to jasmine and jasmone. Examples include 2-pentyl- and 2-heptylcyclopentanone. It is a versatile synthetic intermediate, being a precursor to cyclopentobarbital. Cyclopentanone is also used to make cyclopentamine, the pesticide pencycuron, and pentethylcyclanone.

Upon treatment with barium hydroxide at elevated temperatures, adipic acid undergoes ketonization to give cyclopentanone: (CH2)4(CO2H)2 a (CH2)4CO + H2O + CO2.
