1,3-Cyclopentanedione is an organic compound with the formula (CH2)3(CO)2. It is one of two isomeric cyclopentanediones, the other being 1,2-cyclopentanedione. The enol is predicted to be about 1-3 kcal/mol more stable than the diketo form.[1] The enol structure has been confirmed by X-ray crystallography.[2]
