Reactivity
|
Acetone ignites on contact with activated carbon, chromium trioxide, dioxygen difluoride + carbon dioxide, potassium-tert-butoxide, sulfuric acid + potassium dichromate
Acetone may form explosive mixtures with chromic anhydride, chromyl chloride, hexachloromelamine, hydrogen peroxide, nitric acid and acetic acid, nitric acid and sulfuric acid, nitrosyl chloride, nitrosyl chloride + platinum, nitrosyl perchlorate, nitryl perchlorate, permonosulfuric acid, potassium tert-butoxide, thiodiglycol, chloroform, bromine trifluoride, thiotrithiazyl perchlorate, 2,4,6-trichloro-1,3,5-triazine + water, 2- methyl-1,3--butadiene, peroxomonosulfuric acid
An explosion occurred during an attempt to prepare bromoform from acetone by the haloform reaction
Chloroform and acetone interact vigorously and exothermally in presence of solid potassium hydroxide or calcium hydroxide to form 1,1,1-trichloro-2-hydroxy-2- methylpropane
