OXACYCLOHEXADECEN-2-ONE(CAS#34902-57-3 111879-80-2)

Introduction

Oxacyclohexadecen-2-one (abbreviated as oxacyclohexadecenone) is an organic compound. It is a cyclic molecule containing 16 carbon atoms, with one oxygen atom connecting a pair of adjacent carbon atoms in the ring, and a ketone group (-C=O) located between another pair of adjacent carbon atoms. Oxacyclohexadecenone is a colorless liquid with a natural plant-like fragrance. Oxacyclohexadecenone is widely used in the fragrance industry, commonly for formulating perfumes, flavors, and fragrances.Oxacyclohexadecenone is mainly obtained through various synthetic methods. A commonly used preparation method involves the reaction of cyclopropyl thione and allyl alcohol, followed by oxidation, demethylsulfurization, and dehydration reactions to produce oxacyclohexadecenone. It can be absorbed through the skin, so appropriate personal protective measures should be taken when handling it, such as wearing gloves and protective clothing. Avoid contact with eyes and skin, and avoid inhaling its vapors. During storage and transportation, it should be kept in a dry, ventilated, and light-protected place, away from fire sources and oxidizing agents.
