1,2-Cyclopentanedione

Description:

1,2-Cyclopentanedione, with the CAS number 3008-40-0, is a cyclic diketone characterized by its five-membered ring structure containing two carbonyl (C=O) groups positioned at the 1 and 2 positions. This compound is a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature and exhibits a sweet, pleasant odor. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. The presence of two carbonyl groups contributes to its reactivity, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, including condensation and oxidation. 1,2-Cyclopentanedione can also form chelates with metal ions, making it useful in coordination chemistry. Additionally, it serves as an intermediate in organic synthesis and has applications in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its stability and reactivity make it a valuable compound in both research and industrial settings. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this substance, as it may pose health risks upon exposure.
