2,5-hexanedione is a chemical substance with the molecular formula C6H10O2. It typically appears as a colorless flammable liquid with a slight odor and gradually turns yellow in air. 2,5-hexanedione is miscible with water, ethanol, and ether, but not with hydrocarbon solvents. It has a high boiling point and low vapor pressure, making it relatively safe to use under normal conditions, but attention should be paid to fire prevention.

2,5-hexanedione is widely used in the chemical industry, including as a high boiling point solvent for synthetic resins, nitro spray paint, coloring agents, printing inks, as well as a raw material for leather tanning agents, rubber vulcanization accelerators, insecticides, and pharmaceuticals. ‌
