Acetylacetone is an
organic compound with the
chemical formula CH3−C(=O)−CH2−C(=O)−CH3. It is
classified as a 1,3-****tone. It
exists in
equilibrium with...

acetaldehyde (K = [enol]/[keto] ≈ 3×10−7). In 1,3-****tones, such as
acetylacetone (2,4-pentanedione), the enol form is more favored. The acid-catalyzed...

diacetyl (CH3C(O)C(O)CH3), once used as butter-flavoring in popcorn.
Acetylacetone (pentane-2,4-dione) is
virtually a

- water-soluble
solid is the
conjugate base of
acetylacetone. The
compound is
prepared by
deprotonation of
acetylacetone: NaOH + CH2(C(O)CH3)2 → NaCH(C(O)CH3)2...
