Benzoylacetone is the organic compound with the nominal formula C₆H₅C(O)CH₂C(O)CH₃. As a 1,3-dicarbonyl, it is a precursor to many heterocycles, such as pyrazoles.^[1] It exists predominantly as the enol tautomer C₆H₅C(OH)=CHC(O)CH₃.^[2] Its conjugate base (pK_a=8.7) forms stable complexes with transition metals and lanthanides.^[3]
