Acetone, also known as propanone or dimethyl ketone, is a ketone with the formula (CH3)2CO. It’s the simplest and tiniest in the ketone family. It’s a colourless, extremely volatile, combustible liquid with a distinctive pungent odour. Acetone is miscible with water and is used as an organic solvent in business, at home, and in the laboratory. In 2010, around 6.7 million tonnes were manufactured globally, mostly for use as a solvent and the synthesis of methyl methacrylate (and thus PMMA) and bisphenol A. In organic chemistry, it is a common building block. Acetone is commonly used in home products such as nail polish remover and paint thinner. In the United States, it is free from volatile organic compound (VOC) regulations. Acetone is created and eliminated by regular metabolic processes in the human body. It’s usually seen in the blood and urine. It is produced in greater quantities in diabetic ketoacidosis patients. It has a modest possibility for causing reproductive difficulties, according to reproductive toxicity tests. Ketogenic diets, which raise blood levels of ketone bodies (acetone, -hydroxybutyric acid, and acetoacetic acid), are used to prevent epileptic seizures in infants and children with refractory epilepsy.
