Acetone

Comments

 
Picture
a colorless volatile liquid ketone with a fruity smell resembling nail polish remover or paint thinner. It is made by oxidizing isopropanol, and is used as an organic solvent, synthetic reagent, and as an antiseptic. 
Acetone occurs naturally in plants, trees, forest fires, vehicle exhaust and as a breakdown product of animal fat metabolism. It may be normally present in very small quantities in urine and blood; larger amounts may be found in the urine and blood of diabetics. Larger concentrations of acetone in breath are also associated with fasting and sinusitis.
