cyclopropenone
Sign in to saveAlso known as 2-cyclopropen-1-one
Cyclopropenone is an organic compound with molecular formula consisting of a cyclopropene carbon framework with a ketone functional group. It is a colorless, volatile liquid that boils near room temperature. Neat cyclopropenone polymerizes upon standing at room temperature, and chemical vendors typically supply it as an acetal. The chemical properties of the compound are dominated by the strong polarization of the carbonyl group, which gives a partial positive charge with aromatic stabilization on the ring and a partial negative charge on oxygen.
