Description
colourless liquid with camphor-like or peppermint-like odour
Pinacolone (3,3-dimethyl-2-butanone) is an important ketone in organic chemistry. It is a colorless liquid and has a slight peppermint- or camphor- odor. It is a precursor to triazolylpinacolone in the synthesis of the fungicide triadimefon and in synthesis of the herbicide metribuzin. The molecule is an unsymmetrical ketone. The α-methyl group can participate in condensation reactions. The carbonyl group can undergo the usual reactions (hydrogenation, reductive amination, etc.).

In an analysis of 63 chemical manufacturing effluent discharges collected from across the US, 3,3-dimethyl-2-butanone was detected in one effluent at a concn of <10 ug/L(1). It has been reported that 3,3-dimethyl-2-butanone can be released to the atmosphere through auto emissions and solvents(2).
Toxicity
3,3-Dimethyl-2-butanone has been detected in expired human air (breath) collected from healthy, non-smoking humans(1,2).
3,3-Dimethyl-2-butanone's production and use as an intermediate in the production of fungicides and herbicides(1) may result in its release to the environment through various waste streams(SRC).
TERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 110(SRC), determined from a log Kow of 1.2(2) and a regression-derived equation(3), indicates that 3,3-dimethyl-2-butanone is expected to have high mobility in soil(SRC). Volatilization of 3,3-dimethyl-2-butanone from moist soil surfaces is expected to be an important fate process(SRC) given an estimated Henry's Law constant of 2.2X10-4 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), derived from its vapor pressure, 31.5 mm Hg(4), and water solubility, 19,000 mg/L(5). 3,3-Dimethyl-2-butanone is expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon its vapor pressure(4). Biodegradation data were not available(SRC, 2007).|AQUATIC FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 110(SRC), determined from a log Kow of 1.2(2) and a regression-derived equation(3), indicates that 3,3-dimethyl-2-butanone is not expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment(SRC). Volatilization from water surfaces is expected(3) based upon an estimated Henry's Law constant of 2.2X10-4 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), derived from its vapor pressure, 31.5 mm Hg(4), and water solubility, 19,000 mg/L(5). Using this Henry's Law constant and an estimation method(3), volatilization half-lives for a model river and model lake are 7 hours and 5.2 days, respectively(SRC). According to a classification scheme(6), an estimated BCF of 2(SRC), from its log Kow(2) and a regression-derived equation(7), suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC). Biodegradation data were not available(SRC, 2007).|ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds in the atmosphere(1), 3,3-dimethyl-2-butanone, which has a vapor pressure of 31.5 mm Hg at 25 °C(2), is expected to exist solely as a vapor in the ambient atmosphere. Vapor-phase 3,3-dimethyl-2-butanone is degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals(SRC); the half-life for this reaction in air is estimated to be 14 days(SRC), calculated from its rate constant of 1.21X10-12 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(3). 3,3-Dimethyl-2-butanone contains chromophores that absorb at wavelengths >290 nm and therefore may be susceptible to direct photolysis by sunlight(4).
The rate constant for the vapor-phase reaction of 3,3-dimethyl-2-butanone with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals has been measured as 1.21X10-12 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(1). This corresponds to an atmospheric half-life of about 14 days at an atmospheric concentration of 5X10+5 hydroxyl radicals per cu cm(1). 3,3-Dimethyl-2-butanone is not expected to undergo hydrolysis in the environment due to the lack of functional groups that hydrolyze under environmental conditions(2). 3,3-Dimethyl-2-butanone contains chromophores that absorb at wavelengths >290 nm and therefore may be susceptible to direct photolysis by sunlight(2).
An estimated BCF of 2 was calculated in fish for 3,3-dimethyl-2-butanone(SRC), using a log Kow of 1.2(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).
The Koc of 3,3-dimethyl-2-butanone is estimated as 110(SRC), using a log Kow of 1.2(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that 3,3-dimethyl-2-butanone is expected to have high mobility in soil.
The Henry's Law constant for 3,3-dimethyl-2-butanone is estimated as 2.2X10-4 atm-cu m/mole(SRC) derived from its vapor pressure, 31.5 mm Hg(1), and water solubility, 19,000 mg/L(2). This Henry's Law constant indicates that 3,3-dimethyl-2-butanone is expected to volatilize from water surfaces(3). Based on this Henry's Law constant, the volatilization half-life from a model river (1 m deep, flowing 1 m/sec, wind velocity of 3 m/sec)(3) is estimated as 7 hours(SRC). The volatilization half-life from a model lake (1 m deep, flowing 0.05 m/sec, wind velocity of 0.5 m/sec)(3) is estimated as 5.2 days(SRC). 3,3-Dimethyl-2-butanone's estimated Henry's Law constant indicates that volatilization from moist soil surfaces may occur(SRC). The potential for volatilization of 3,3-dimethyl-2-butanone from dry soil surfaces may exist(SRC) based upon its vapor pressure(1).
SURFACE WATER: 3,3-Dimethyl-2-butanone was detected in one sample of surface waters collected from 204 sites near heavily industrialized areas across the US(1); concn of the detection was not reported(1).
Occupational exposure to 3,3-dimethyl-2-butanone may occur through inhalation and dermal contact with this compound at workplaces where 3,3-dimethyl-2-butanone is produced or used. (SRC)
In an analysis of expired human air collected from 28 normal, healthy, non-smoking humans, 3,3-dimethyl-2-butanone was detected at concns ranging from approximately 0.12 to 2 ng/L of expired air(1); positive identifactions of 3,3-dimethyl-2-butanone were made in approximately 10% of all samples. In a similar study of 54 humans (387 expired air samples collected), 3,3-dimethyl-2-butanone was detected in 8.3% of all samples with a mean concn of 0.184 ng/L(2).
