Application

2-Decanone may be used as an analytical standard for the determination of the analyte in the essential oil of Ruta chalepensis L., milk and cheese by chromatography techniques.
Refer to the product′s Certificate of Analysis for more information on a suitable instrument technique. Contact Technical Service for further support.

General description

2-Decanone can be obtained via liquid-phase Wacker oxidation of 1-decene in the presence of an efficient catalyst like Pd60 (Pd- palladium) nanocluster immobilized on titanium oxide support and cuprous chloride/H2O.
2-Decanone is a constituent of the essential oil of Ruta chalepensis L., which is used in the production of food, drugs and perfumery.
