Diketene is a highly reactive cyclic dimer of ketene. It is a colorless liquid with a pungent odor. Diketene is a valuable industrial chemical used in the synthesis of a wide variety of organic compounds, including pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and polymers. It is also used as a starting material for the production of other cyclic compounds, such as pyrones and pyridones. Diketene is synthesized by the dimerization of ketene, which is produced by the pyrolysis of acetone or acetic acid. Diketene is a highly reactive compound and readily undergoes reactions with nucleophiles, such as alcohols, amines, and water. It is also prone to polymerization. Diketene is a valuable intermediate in organic synthesis, due to its reactivity and ability to undergo a variety of reactions. It is also a key component of many industrial processes. It is a useful reagent for the synthesis of a variety of heterocycles, including pyrones, pyridines, and quinolones. These heterocycles are important building blocks for many pharmaceutical and agrochemical compounds.'
