| Common Name | Butanone |
|---|
| Description | Butanone, also known as aethylmethylketon or methyl acetone, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as ketones. These are organic compounds in which a carbonyl group is bonded to two carbon atoms R2C=O (neither R may be a hydrogen atom). Ketones that have one or more alpha-hydrogen atoms undergo keto-enol tautomerization, the tautomer being an enol. Thus, butanone is considered to be an oxygenated hydrocarbon lipid molecule. Butanone exists as a solid, very hydrophobic, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral molecule. Butanone is a potentially toxic compound. |
