What is Understanding Enones in Chemistry about?
An enone is an unsaturated chemical compound consisting of a conjugated system of an alkene and a ketone. The simplest enone is methyl vinyl ketone. Enones undergo reactions similar to saturated carbonyl compounds, such as conjugate additions. They are electrophilic at the β-carbon, which can react with nucleophiles through either direct addition to the carbonyl or conjugate addition depending on conditions. Enones are reactants in reactions like the Nazarov cyclization and Rauhut–Currier reaction.
