Synthesis route :
Methyl Heptyl Ketone can be synthesized by dry distillation of Barium Caprylate and Barium acetate at very low pressure (0.5 to 2 mmHg).
Another method for synthesizing this compound is to use chromic acid, reacting with methyl heptyl carbinol at room temperature, to oxidize the latter.
Synthesis precursor :
A condensation of this ketone with another ketone may form the desired alkene. Hydrogenation of Methyl Heptyl Ketone can form 2-nonanol, also relevant in perfumery.
Isomerism :
Methyl Heptyl Ketone is the constitutional isomer of Cinnamaldehyde, although these two molecules do not smell the same.
