Suitable extinguishing media: Dry powder, dry sand. Unsuitable extinguishing media: Do NOT use water jet.

Advice for firefighters: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus for firefighting if necessary.

Use water spray to cool unopened containers.

Use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, alcohol foam, or polymer foam extinguishers. ... If material or contaminated runoff enters waterways, notify downstream users of potentially contaminated waters. Notify local health and fire officials and pollution control agencies. From a secure, explosion-proof location, use water spray to cool exposed containers. If cooling streams are ineffective (venting sound increases in volume and pitch, tank discolors, or shows any signs of deforming), withdraw immediately to a secure position. ... The only respirators recommended for firefighting are self-contained breathing apparatuses that have full face-pieces and are operated in a pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode.

To fight fire, use alcohol foam, /carbon dioxide/, or dry chemical.

Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. Containers which are opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. Storage class (TRGS 510): 3: Flammable liquids.

Store in a flammable liquid storage area or approved cabinet away from ignition sources and corrosive and reactive materials. Prior to working with this chemical you should be trained on its proper handling and storage. Before entering confined space where this chemical may be present, check to make sure that an explosive concentration is not a danger. Store in stainless steel containers away from oxidizers, reducing agents, bases. Where possible, automatically pump liquid from drums or other storage containers to process containers. Sources of ignition, such as smoking and open flames, are prohibited where this chemical is handled, used, or stored. Metal containers involving the transfer of 5 gallons or more of this chemical should be grounded and bonded. Drums must be equipped with self-closing valves, pressure vacuum bungs, and flame arresters. Use only nonsparking tools and equipment, especially when opening and closing containers of this chemical.

TERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 34(SRC), determined from a log Kow of 0.40(2) and a regression-derived equation(3), indicates that acetyl acetone is expected to have very high mobility in soil(SRC). Volatilization of acetyl acetone from moist soil surfaces is expected to be an important fate process(SRC) given an estimated Henry's Law constant of 2.4X10-6 atm-cu m/mole(SRC) derived from its vapor pressure, 2.96 mm Hg(4), and water solubility, 166,000 mg/L(5). Acetyl acetone is expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon its vapor pressure(4). Utilizing the Japanese MITI test, 83% of the Theoretical BOD was reached in 4 weeks(6), suggesting that biodegradation may be an important environmental fate process in soil(SRC).

AQUATIC FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 34(SRC), determined from a log Kow of 0.40(2) and a regression-derived equation(3), indicates that acetyl acetone is not expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment(SRC). Volatilization from water surfaces is expected(4) based upon an estimated Henry's Law constant of 2.4X10-6 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), derived from its vapor pressure, 2.96 mm Hg(5), and water solubility, 166,000 mg/L(6). Using this Henry's Law constant and an estimation method(3), volatilization half-lives for a model river and model lake are 16 days and 120 days, respectively(SRC). The aquatic oxidation rate for acetyl acetone has been experimentally determined to be 9.9X10-9 L/mol-s at pH 6.4(7). Based on this rate and a hydroxyl radical concentration of 1X10-17 mol/L in water under continuous sunlight(8), the half-life for the aquatic oxidation of acetyl acetone can be estimated to be 81 days(SRC). According to a classification scheme(9), an estimated BCF of 3(SRC), from its log Kow(2) and a regression-derived equation(3), suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC). Utilizing the Japanese MITI test, 83% of the Theoretical BOD was reached in 4 weeks(10), suggesting that biodegradation may be an important environmental fate process in water(SRC).

ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds in the atmosphere(1), acetyl acetone, which has a vapor pressure of 2.96 mm Hg at 20 °C(2), is expected to exist solely as a vapor in the ambient atmosphere. Vapor-phase acetyl acetone 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 22 days(SRC), calculated from its rate constant of 9.05X10-11 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(3). Acetyl acetone absorbs UV light at wavelengths >314 nm(5) and, therefore, may be susceptible to direct photolysis by sunlight(SRC).

IDENTIFICATION AND USE: Acetyl acetone is a colorless or slightly yellow liquid. It forms organometallic complexes which are used as gasoline additives, lubricant additives, driers for varnishes and printer's inks. HUMAN STUDIES: Acetly acetone (2 to 14 ppm) was reported to produce nausea and headaches in several persons. A case was reported involving an individual who had developed contact dermatitis to Cu(II)-acetyl acetonate and who also showed a cross reaction to acetyl acetone. The skin sensitizing properties of acetyl acetate were examined in a human patch test. Of the 12 persons tested three showed no reaction, seven doubtful, and two had a positive reaction after an exposure period of 24 hr. No skin reactions were evident after 48 and 72 hr, respectively. The results observed in the human patch test were interpreted as an irritating rather than a sensitizing effect. ANIMAL STUDIES: Acetyl acetone was not irritating to the skin of rabbits. In a rabbits eye irritation test, exposure to acetyl acetone resulted in minor transient irritation with no corneal involvement. After oral administration to rats, signs of toxicity were characterized by sluggishness, tremors, kyphosis, lacrimation, unsteady gait, comatose appearance and prostration. In another oral study, doses given by gavage to rats were 0, 100, 500 and 1,000 mg/kg bw given for 1 to 15 days in 1 to 11 applications. In the highest dose group all animals died within 1 hour after dosing. In the 500 mg/kg bw group 3/5 animals died and 2/5 were sacrificed due to poor condition after four applications. Various substance related systemic effects were observable in this dose group such as distended bladder, congested lungs, clouding of cornea, thymic necrosis, hepatocyte swelling and congestion, nephrosis, lymphadenitis of mesenteric lymph nodes and inflammation of the heart. After inhalation in rats (4 hr; 628, 919, 1231 and 1508 ppm) mortalities were observed in animals of the two highest dose groups. Signs of

Testing status for acetyl acetone is available.[Available from, as of February 1, 2019: https://ntpsearch.niehs.nih.gov/?e=True&ContentType=Testing+Status]

EPA has released the Interactive Chemical Safety for Sustainability (iCSS) Dashboard. The iCSS Dashboard provides an interactive tool to explore rapid, automated (or in vitro high-throughput) chemical screening data generated by the Toxicity Forecaster (ToxCast) project and the federal Toxicity Testing in the 21st century (Tox21) collaboration. /The title compound was tested by ToxCast and/or Tox21 assays/[USEPA; ICSS Dashboard Application; Available from, as of February 4, 2019: http://actor.epa.gov/dashboard/]

Acetyl acetone was identified, not quantified in ozone treated sludge press liquors from a waste water treatment facility in Kent, England(1). The compound was identified in an odor profiling study of a confined animal (swine) feeding operation in north western Texas. It was not identified as a major odorant from a beef operation(2).

The Koc of acetyl acetone is estimated as 34(SRC), using a log Kow of 0.40(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that acetyl acetone is expected to have very high mobility in soil(SRC).

2,4-Pentanedione: HSNO Approval: HSR001072 Approved with controls

Section 8(a) of TSCA requires manufacturers of this chemical substance to report preliminary assessment information concerned with production, exposure, and use to EPA as cited in the preamble in 51 FR 41329. Effective date: 9/30/91; Reporting date: 11/27/91.

Pursuant to section 8(d) of TSCA, EPA promulgated a model Health and Safety Data Reporting Rule. The section 8(d) model rule requires manufacturers, importers, and processors of listed chemical substances and mixtures to submit to EPA copies and lists of unpublished health and safety studies. 2,4-Pentanedione is included on this list. Effective date: 9/30/91; Sunset date: 12/19/95.

2,4-Pentanedione (2,4-PD; CAS No. 123-54-6) ... was investigated for its comparative pharmacokinetics in male Fischer 344 rats by a single intravenous (i.v.) injection of (4.3, 43, 148.5, and 430 mg/kg), or a 6-hr nose-only inhalation exposure (400 ppm) to (14)C-2,4-PD. For the i.v. route, the plasma concentration of (14)C-2,4-PD-derived radioactivity declined in a biexponential fashion. The overall form of the (14)C plasma concentration-time curves and derived pharmacokinetic parameters indicated that dose-linear kinetics occurred in the i.v. dose range 4.3-148.5 mg/kg, but not with 430 mg/kg. Metabolism of 2,4-PD was rapid to undetectable after 8 hr. (14)C-2,4-PD derived radioactivity was eliminated mainly as (14)CO2 and in urine. For the 4.3, 43 and 148.5 mg/kg doses (14)CO2 elimination was relatively constant (36.8, 38.8 and 42.3% in 48 hr samples respectively) and greater than urinary excretion (17.9, 14.3 and 29.6%; 48 hr specimens). At 430 mg/kg i.v. there was a reversal of the excretion pattern, with urine (14)C excretion (54.7%) becoming greater than that for (14)CO2 (27.3%). Excretion in expired volatiles and feces was small. Radiochromatograms of urine showed free 2,4-PD in the 12 hr sample, together with 7 other metabolites. Free 2,4-PD and 6 of the metabolites decreased or were not detectable in a 24 or 48 hr urine sample, but one peak (retention 7.9 min) increased progressively to become the major fraction (97%). Nose-only exposure to 400 ppm (14)C-2, 4-PD produced a mean decrease in breathing rate of 20.1%, which was constant and sustained throughout exposure, due to a lengthening of the expiratory phase of the respiratory cycle. (14)C-2,4-PD was rapidly absorbed during the first 3 hr of exposure, then began to plateau, but did not reach a steady state. Postexposure elimination of (14)C from plasma followed a biexponential form with a t1/2 for the terminal disposition phase of 30.72 hr. ... Postexposure, plasma unmetabolized 2,4-PD declined rapidly to

2,4-Pentanedione is produced by thermal or metal-catalyzed rearrangement of isopropenyl acetate (obtained from acetone and ketene). Isopropenyl acetate vapor is fed at atmospheric pressure through a V2A steel tube with an inner temperature of 520 °C. The hot reaction gases are quenched, condensed, and cooled to 20 °C, whereby the gaseous byproducts carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, methane, and ketene are separated. The product is purified by fractional distillation. Other industrially less important processes for the production of 2,4-pentanedione, include the Claisen ester condensation of ethyl acetate with acetone using sodium ethoxide as condensation agent and the acetylation of acetoacetic acid esters with acetic anhydride in the presence of magnesium salts.

Made by the action of sodium on ethyl acetate and acetone or by the action of anhydrous aluminum chloride on acetyl chloride in the presence of an inert solvent.
