6-Undecanone acts as solvent during the analysis of lignin pyrolysis in aerosol samples. It is an efficient membrane liquid in supported liquid membrane technique for pretreatment of plasma samples prior to capillary zone electrophoresis.
Poison by intravenous
route. Moderately toxic by ingestion. When
heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes. See also
