Diacetone alcohol was first identified by Heintz, its preparation entails the Ba(OH)2-catalyzed condensation of two molecules of acetone.It undergoes dehydration to give the α,β-unsaturated ketone, mesityl oxide: Hydrogenation of mesityl oxide gives the industrial solvent, methyl isobutyl ketone ("MIBK").
