5-Nonanone, or dibutyl ketone, is the organic compound with the formula (CH3CH2CH2CH2)2CO. This colorless liquid is a symmetrical ketone.
==Synthesis== 5-Nonanone, which is potentially of interest as a diesel fuel, can be produced from levulinic acid, which can be produced from fructose. Levulinic acid is converted to valeric acid, which undergoes ketonization.
