Explain why there is no such a compound called “ethanone”.
31.2 Nomenclature of Carbonyl Compounds (SB p.4) Let's Think 1 Explain why there is no such a compound called “ethanone”. Answer Ketones are compounds with the carbonyl group situated between two carbon chains or carbon rings. Therefore, the simplest ketone is the one with three carbon atoms. “Ethanone”, however, suggests that there are two carbon atoms in it and it does not exist. Back
