Chemical properties of Acetone 

      If acetone could be in excess in ketal condensation or catalyst (ZnCl₂/ dry HCl) is used then three moles of acetone undergoes condensation polymerisation and form a compound called 'Phorone'.

         Molecular mass of phorone = 3 mole of acetone - 2 mole of H₂O     

      Reformatsky reaction: This reaction has the treatment of aldehyde and ketone with a bromo acid ester in presence of metallic zinc to form β-hydroxy ester, which can be easily dehydrated into α, β-unsaturated ester.

(a)

(b)  Addition to carbonyl group
