Acyclic aliphatic ketones are a class of organic compounds with a carbonyl group located within an open carbon chain. These compounds often have fruity or floral scents and are used in perfumery and the food industry. Methyl heptenone, for instance, contributes a sweet, fruity note to fragrances and is a common example of an acyclic aliphatic ketone used in the production of scents.
