Acetone, known chemically as C3H6O or dimethyl ketone, is a volatile, colorless, and flammable liquid with a distinct sweet odor. It is widely used as a polar aprotic solvent in various industrial applications including paint, nail polish removers, plastic, fibers, and pharmaceuticals. Beyond its manufactured sources, acetone naturally occurs in trace amounts in plants, trees, volcanic gases, and as a byproduct of body fat metabolism. As a methyl ketone, acetone dissolves readily in water and other organic solvents like ethanol and ether, making it versatile for chemical reactions and processes. Despite its widespread uses, acetone is also a volatile organic compound present in vehicle exhaust and landfill sites, potentially contributing to environmental concerns. Its role as a human metabolite and amidase inhibitor emphasizes its biological significance, particularly in ketone body production which provides energy during metabolic states like diabetic ketosis.
