SPhrases = S16, S20/21Pinacolone (3,3-dimethyl-2-butanone) is an important
ketone inorganic chemistry . It is formed by thepinacol rearrangement ofpinacol . It has an odour reminiscent of peppermint and was discovered in 1866. Its primary use is in the synthesis oftriazolylpinacolone in the synthesis of the fungicidetriadimefon and in synthesis of the herbicidemetribuzin .
