Methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), also systematically known as 2-butanone, is a colorless, highly volatile, and flammable organic liquid solvent with a sharp, sweet odor reminiscent of acetone. It has the molecular formula C4H8O (or CH3COCH2CH3). Industrially, it is produced on a large scale primarily through the dehydrogenation of 2-butanol, though it also occurs naturally in trace amounts within certain fruits and vegetables.
