Cyclopentanone is the organic compound with the formula (CH₂)₄CO. This cyclic ketone is a colorless volatile liquid.

Preparation

Upon treatment with barium hydroxide at elevated temperatures, adipic acid undergoes ketonization to give cyclopentanone:[2]

(CH₂)₄(CO₂H)₂ → (CH₂)₄CO + H₂O + CO₂

Uses

Cyclopentanone is common precursor to fragrances, especially those related to jasmine and jasmone. Examples include 2-pentyl- and 2-heptylcyclopentanone.[3] It is a versatile synthetic intermediate, being a precursor to cyclopentobarbital.[4]

Cyclopentobarbital is a drug made from cyclopentanone.

Cyclopentanone is also used to make cyclopentamine, the pesticide pencycuron, and pentethylcyclanone.[4]

gollark: No.

gollark: Some of the staff seem vaguely supportive of it?
