Chemistry:Cyclopropenone

From HandWiki

Cyclopropenone is an organic compound with molecular formula C
3
H
2
O
consisting of a cyclopropene carbon framework with a ketone functional group. It is a colorless, volatile liquid that boils near room temperature.[1] Neat cyclopropenone polymerizes upon standing at room temperature,[2] and chemical vendors typically supply it as an acetal.[3] 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.[4][5] Cyclopropenone has been observed in the gas phase in interstellar environments such as the Taurus Molecular Cloud.[6]
