The administration of a single dose of acetone (100 mg/kg bw) to virgin and 21-day pregnant rats resulted in the appearance of relatively high concentrations of 1,2-propanediol, acetol and methylglyoxal in plasma and liver. In the fetuses no methylglyoxal was detectable. The acetone metabolism curves tend to indicate that the capacity for acetone disposal may be enhanced in the 48 hr-fasted pre...

The effect of acetone on temporal oscillations and spatio-temporal patterns occurring in the ruthenium-catalyzed Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) reaction was investigated in a closed batch system. The periods of temporal oscillations and waves significantly decrease with increasing acetone concentration. At low concentrations of acetone (0.01-0.05 M), regular wave patterns are observed with prolonged...

Concentrations of acetone in urine, alveolar air, and blood were measured by gas chromatography with flame ionisation detection for 110 subjects occupationally exposed to acetone (mean 372 ppm) in three factories. Significant relations were found between the time weighted average environmental concentration and the concentration in the biological samples. The strongest correlation was between t...

1 No portion of the emission reduction was achieved through reformulating any coatings with acetone. Some stains and basecoats have been reformulated with acetone as the primary solvent; however Ethan Allen has included acetone emissions in the 257 tons per year VOC figure. Acetone was removed from the U.S. EPA’s VOC list on June 16, 1995 and is not a listed HAP, but it remains as a listed HAC ...

Cellulose acetate fibers are commonly made by a dry-spinning process, in which cellulose acetate is firstly dissolved in acetone and then the cellulose acetate acetone solution is extruded through spinneret orifices that have extremely small diameters. Any insoluble substances in acetone solutions could cause disruptions in fiber extrusion, and are not tolerated. In this work, acetone-insoluble...

In the title compound, C(10)H(11)NO(2)S, the acetyl-acetone group crystallizes in the keto form with all the non-hydrogen atoms in the acetyl-acetone group approximately co-planar with a maximum atomic deviation 0.055 (2) Å; the dihedral angle between the acetyl-acetone group and the pyridine ring is 85.90 (6)°. An intra-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bond involving the acetyl-acetone group forms a s...

Although a number of methods have been devised for the quantitative estimation of acetone in the urine, at the present time the method of Messinger,2 as modified by Huppert,s is the one most frequently employed, and is usually regarded as the most accurate one at our command.4 A recent paper by Folin5 offers the first satisfactory method for separately determining the acetone and diacetic acid ...
