Metabolite Identification
Common NameDiacetone alcohol
DescriptionDiacetone alcohol, also known as pyranton, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as beta-hydroxy ketones. These are ketones containing a hydroxyl group attached to the beta-carbon atom, relative to the C=O group. Thus, diacetone alcohol is considered to be an oxygenated hydrocarbon lipid molecule. Diacetone alcohol exists as a liquid, very hydrophobic, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral molecule.
