• Isophorone is an organic compound, a colorless to yellowish liquid with characteristic smell, that is used as a solvent and as an intermediate in organic synthesis.
• Isophorone also occurs naturally in cranberries.
• The use of isophorone as a solvent resulted from the search for ways to dispose of or recycle acetone, which is a waste product of phenol synthesis.
• Isophorone can be manufactured by catalyzed self-condensation of acetone.
• Mesityl oxide is the initial product of the self-aldol condensation of acetone.
• The acetone formed can react further with mesityl oxide via a Michael reaction and subsequent intramolecular aldol condensation to eventually obtain the six-membered ring of isophorone.
• The production and consumption of isophorone in the world is concentrated in western advanced countries and regions.
• The import amount of isophorone in China was around 3 500 tons and the import price was around US$1 500 per ton.
