Ketones may be viewed as the oxidation products of secondary Alcohols. Their structure R-CO-R' is reminiscent of that of Aldehydes (in which R' is hydrogen). R and R' may be the same or different and may be aliphatic, aromatic, or alicyclic. As a group, ketones are stable to hydrolytic reactions and oxidation.
The best known ketone, Acetone, and other low molecular weight ketones are used as solvents in cosmetics. Some ketones are used as fragrance materials and for various specialty purposes. |
