Common Name2-Propanone
DescriptionAcetone or 2-propanone, also known as dimethyl ketone, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as ketones. These are organic compounds in which a carbonyl group is bonded to two carbon atoms R2C=O (neither R may be a hydrogen atom). Ketones that have one or more alpha-hydrogen atoms undergo keto-enol tautomerization, the tautomer being an enol. Acetone is neutral molecule that is miscible in water. It readily dissolves in other organic solvents such as ethanol, methanol and diethyl ether. It occurs naturally in plants, trees, volcanic gases, forest fires, and is present in vehicle exhaust, alcoholic beverages, tobacco smoke, and landfill sites. Within the body small amounts of acetone are produced by the decarboxylation of ketone bodies (acetoacetate, beta-hydroxybutyrate). Certain dietary patterns, including prolonged fasting and high-fat low-carbohydrate dieting, can produce ketosis, in which acetone is formed in body tissue. More specifically, acetone can be produced from the oxidation of ingested isopropanol, or from the spontaneous/enzymatic breakdown of acetoacetate (a ketone body) in ketotic individuals. In humans acetone can be metabolized either by CYP2E1 via methylglyoxal to D-lactate and pyruvate (PMID 4285478 ). In addition to its presence in humans, acetone is found in a variety of foods and plants. Acetone has been rated as a generally recognized as safe (GRAS) substance when present in beverages, baked foods, desserts, and preserves at concentrations ranging from 5 to 8 mg/L. It is used as a flavor enhancer for sweetners in pickling mixes. Acetone is one of several ketones that are found in Cannabis sativa (PMID: 6991645 ). Acetone is widely used as an organic solvent and is the active ingredient in nail polish remover and as paint thinner. Acetone has been studied extensively and is believed to exhibit only slight toxicity in normal use. There is no strong evidence of chronic health effects if basic precautions are followed
