ZWEHNKRNPOVVGH-UHFFFAOYSA-N Chemical Taxonomy Description

This compound belongs to the class of chemical entities 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. Kingdom
