PRODUCT INTRODUCTION
description
Hydroxyacetone is a propanone that is acetone in which one of the methyl hydrogens is replaced by a hydroxy group. It has a role as a human metabolite, an Escherichia coli metabolite and a mouse metabolite. It is a member of propanones, a methyl ketone, a primary alcohol and a primary alpha-hydroxy ketone. It is functionally related to an acetone.
