    Acetone (2-propanone or dimethyl ketone) is an organic compound with the formula (CH 3) 2 CO. [22] It is the simplest and smallest ketone ( >C=O ). It is a colorless, highly volatile , and flammable liquid with a characteristic pungent odour, very reminiscent of the smell of pear drops .

  3. Ketone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ketone

    In organic chemistry, a ketone / ˈ k iː t oʊ n / is an organic compound with the structure R−C(=O)−R', where R and R' can be a variety of carbon-containing substituents. Ketones contain a carbonyl group −C(=O)− (a carbon-oxygen double bond C=O). The simplest ketone is acetone (where R and R' is methyl), with the formula (CH 3) 2 CO ...

    Skeletal structural formula of Vitamin B 12.Many organic molecules are too complicated to be specified by a molecular formula.. The structural formula of a chemical compound is a graphic representation of the molecular structure (determined by structural chemistry methods), showing how the atoms are possibly arranged in the real three-dimensional space.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetylacetone

    Acetylacetone is an organic compound with the chemical formula CH 3 −C(=O)−CH 2 −C(=O)−CH 3. It is classified as a 1,3-diketone. It exists in equilibrium with a tautomer CH 3 −C(=O)−CH=C(−OH)−CH 3. The mixture is a colorless liquid.

  8. Acetophenone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetophenone

    Acetophenone is formed as a byproduct of the cumene process, the industrial route for the synthesis of phenol and acetone.In the Hock rearrangement of isopropylbenzene hydroperoxide, migration of a methyl group rather than the phenyl group gives acetophenone and methanol as a result of an alternate rearrangement of the intermediate:

  9. Methyl acetate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methyl_acetate

    Methyl acetate is produced industrially via the carbonylation of methanol as a byproduct of the production of acetic acid. [6] Methyl acetate also arises by esterification of acetic acid with methanol in the presence of strong acids such as sulfuric acid; this production process is famous [according to whom?] because of Eastman Kodak's intensified process using a reactive distillation.
