Grasshopper Ketone

Published:

Description

There's not much information to be found about this compound beyond what's already in the name.

It was found in a grasshopper, and the chemical structure makes it a ketone.

It also occurs in some algae and flowering plants, and chemically, it's also an allene and a cyclohexanol, so there's a bunch more ways it could have hypothetically been named.

But "grasshopper ketone" sounds alright too.
