Nitroketones
Nitroketones are a class of organic compounds characterized by the presence of both a nitro group (-NO2) and a ketone group (C=O) within the same molecule. The relative positions of these functional groups can vary, leading to different structural isomers and properties. For example, a nitroketone might have the nitro group adjacent to the carbonyl carbon (an alpha-nitroketone) or separated by one or more carbon atoms.
The synthesis of nitroketones can be achieved through various chemical reactions. One common method involves the
Nitroketones have found applications in organic synthesis as intermediates for the construction of more complex molecules.
