Acetone, or Dimethyl Ketone, CH3COCH3, in chemistry, the simplest representative of the aliphatic ketones. It is present in very small quantity in normal urine?, in the blood, and in larger quantities in diabetic? patients. It is found among the products formed in the destructive distillation of wood, sugar, cellulose, &c., and for this reason it is always present in crude wood spirit, from which the greater portion of it may be re-covered by fractional distillation. On the large scale it is prepared by the dry distillation of calcium acetate? (CH3CO2)2Ca = CaCO?3 + CH3COCH3.

Acetone is largely used in the manufacture of cordite?. For this purpose the crude distillate is redistilled over sulphuric acid and then fractionated.
