Isophorone CAS#78-59-1
Isophorone (chemical formula: C9H14O) has its full name being 3, 5, 5-Trimethyl-2-cyclohexen-1-one. It is a kind of α, β-unsaturated cyclic ketone, and is a flavoring ingredient existing in cranberries and saffron. Isophorone can be used as a solvent in some printing inks, paints, lacquers, adhesives, copolymers, coatings, finishings and pesticide. It can also act as an intermediate in organic synthesis as well as the ingredient in wood preservatives and floor sealants. It is mainly manufactured through the self-condensation of acetone with KOH.

Product Application of Isophorone CAS#78-59-1
Isophorone is used as a solvent for vinylresins and cellulose esters, and in pesticides. solvent in some printing inks, paints, lacquers and adhesives. As a cyclic unsaturated ketone, isophorone can be aromatized to 3,5-dimethylphenol or 2,3,5-trimethylphenol. Hydrogenation leads, depending on conditions, to 3,3,5-trimethylcyclohexanone or 3,3,5- trimethylcyclohexanol, from which trimethyladipic acid is obtained by oxidation [78]. Trimethyladipic acid is used for the production of 2,2,4- trimethylhexamethylenediamine, which is a precursor for polyamides and polyurethanes. Addition of hydrogen cyanide to the olefinic double bond, followed by amination of the keto group in the presence of hydrogen, gives 3,5,5-trimethyl-3-aminomethylcyclohexylamine [2855-13-2], isophorone diamine. Reaction of the latter with phosgene gives isophorone diisocyanate [4098-71-9]. Both compounds are used in large quantities for the production of polymers, mainly polyurethanes. Worldwide production capacity for isophorone is ca. 50 000 t/a.
