ketoneille
Ketoneille is a term used in theoretical and hypothetical chemistry to refer to a class of organic molecules distinguished by a central ketone functional group incorporated into a rigid, often polycyclic or cage-like, molecular framework. The name blends the ketone functional group with a suffix common to hypothetical compound families, signaling a defined structural motif rather than a widely used real-world class.
Structural characteristics of Ketoneille compounds typically include a ketone (R-CO-R') that resides within a constrained backbone.
In theoretical discussions, Ketoneille compounds are proposed to be accessible through annulation or cyclization sequences that
Reactivity of Ketoneille molecules follows general ketone chemistry, including nucleophilic additions, enolization, and various electrophilic transformations.
Potential applications discussed in theory encompass use as chiral building blocks for asymmetric synthesis, ligands for
