Iodoacetone is an organoiodine compound with the chemical formula C
3H
5IO[1][2] The substance is a colorless liquid[3] under normal conditions, soluble in ethanol.[4][5]
Synthesis
The reaction of acetone and iodine produces iodoacetone. The reaction is typically acid catalysed and first order with respect to acetone and the acid catalyst:[3][6]
- C3H6O + I2 → HI + C3H5IO
