'''Bromoacetone''' is a ] with the ] {{Carbon}}{{Hydrogen}}<sub>3</sub>C{{Oxygen}}CH<sub>2</sub>{{Bromine}}. This colorless liquid is a ]. It is a precursor to other ]s. '''Bromoacetone''' is an ] with the ] {{chem2|auto=1|CH3COCH2Br}}. It is a colorless liquid although impure samples appear yellow or even brown. It is a ] and a precursor to other ]s.
