Decane112dione

Decane112dione is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C10H18O2. It is a diketone, meaning it contains two ketone functional groups within its structure. Specifically, the "1,12" in its name indicates that the carbonyl groups are located at the first and twelfth carbon positions of the decane chain. However, a standard decane chain only has ten carbon atoms. This naming convention suggests an unusual or possibly hypothetical structure. In a typical linear decane, the numbering would only go up to 10. Therefore, "Decane112dione" as written does not conform to standard IUPAC nomenclature for a linear alkane.

If the intention was to describe a compound with two ketone groups on a ten-carbon chain, a more accurate name would be required, specifying the positions of the carbonyls within the ten-carbon framework, such as decane-2,3-dione or decane-5,6-dione. Alternatively, if the "112" refers to a different structural feature or a non-standard numbering system, further clarification would be necessary to precisely define the compound. Without a clear structural representation or adherence to standard nomenclature, the exact properties and existence of a compound specifically named "Decane112dione" are difficult to ascertain. As a diketone, if such a compound were to exist, it would likely exhibit reactivity characteristic of ketones, including nucleophilic addition reactions.
