Question

Describe the ketone, with suitable examples..?

Answer 1

Hey!

Here is ur answer

A compound containing a carbonyl group (C=O) is normally in rapid equilibrium with an enol tautomer, which contains a pair of doubly bonded carbon atoms adjacent to a hydroxyl(−OH) group, C=C-OH. The keto form predominates at equilibrium for most ketones. Nonetheless, the enol form is important for some reactions. The deprotonated intermediate in the interconversion of the two forms, referred to as an enolate anion, is important in carbonyl chemistry, in large part because it is a strong nucleophile.

For example, Butanone

Answer 2

ketone is a non terminal group ....
Its symbol is CO
prefix used for ketone is one
suffix used for ketone is oxo
Ex...CH3CH3COCH3
Butan -2- one...
