Bauchetones
Bauchetones are a class of organic compounds characterized by the presence of a ketone functional group adjacent to a tertiary carbon atom. The general structure of a baucheton can be represented as R1R2C-CO-CR3R4R5, where R1, R2, R3, R4, and R5 are alkyl or aryl groups. This specific arrangement of atoms confers unique chemical properties.
The synthesis of bauchetones often involves the oxidation of corresponding tertiary alcohols or through specific carbon-carbon
While bauchetones are not as widely encountered in general organic chemistry discussions as simpler ketones, they
