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]

Preparation[]

The compound is prepared by hydrogenation of 2-cyclopentene-1,4-dione using zinc/acetic acid.^[3]^[4]
