Penguinone
Template:Short description Template:Chembox
Penguinone is an organic compound with the molecular formula Template:Chem/link. Its name comes from the fact that its 2-dimensional molecular structure resembles a penguin.[1][2]
The suffix "-one" indicates that it is a ketone.[3] The systematic name of the molecule is 3,4,4,5-tetramethylcyclohexa-2,5-dienone.[4][5]
Although it is a dienone and thus has the necessary structure for a dienone–phenol rearrangement, the methyl groups in positions 3 and 5 of the ring block the movement of the group at position 4, so even the action of trifluoroacetic acid will not cause transformation to a phenol.[6]
