The 17 pages that link to Acetone, each with the reason it gives.

• EthanolCompared with: Unlike ethanol, acetone is a ketone and is not an intoxicating beverage alcohol.

• KetoneBroader topic: Acetone is a widely used solvent and the simplest representative of the class.

• KetogenesisBroader topic: It forms as a minor by-product of ketone-body production.

• Ethyl acetateCompared with: Both evaporate readily, but acetone is a ketone rather than an ester.

• Flammable liquidBroader topic: Its high volatility makes vapor accumulation a practical fire concern.

• Isopropyl alcoholRelated: Oxidation of isopropyl alcohol produces acetone, linking the alcohol to a common solvent.

• AcetophenoneCompared with: It shares acetophenone’s acetyl-like carbonyl chemistry but lacks an aromatic ring.

• ButanoneCompared with: Acetone is a closely related, more volatile ketone with one fewer carbon.

• CumeneRelated: The isopropyl portion of cumene becomes acetone in the cleavage step.

• Haloform reactionBroader topic: Acetone undergoes the reaction to give acetate and a haloform.

• Methyl acetateCompared with: It is a common, non-ester solvent alternative with different chemical reactivity.

• AcetylacetoneCompared with: Unlike acetylacetone, acetone has one carbonyl group and does not form the same bidentate chelate.

• IodoformBroader topic: Acetone is a standard positive example of the iodoform reaction.

• Lithium aluminium hydrideRelated: LiAlH₄ reduces acetone’s carbonyl group to 2-propanol.

• PropionaldehydeCompared with: It shares propionaldehyde’s carbon count and formula but is a ketone, not an aldehyde.

• Acetoacetic acidCompared with: Unlike acetoacetic acid, it is not substantially used as an energy fuel.

• White spiritCompared with: It evaporates faster and dissolves a different range of materials than white spirit.
