	Chemical Compound A chemical compound is a chemical substance composed of many identical molecules (or molecular entities) containing atoms from more than one chemical element held together by chemical bonds. A molecule consisting of atoms of only one element is therefore not a compound. A compound can be transformed into a different substance by a chemical reaction, which may involve interactions with other substances. In this process, bonds between atoms may be broken and/or new bonds formed. There are four major types of compounds, distinguished by how the constituent atoms are bonded together. Molecular compounds are held together by covalent bonds; ionic compounds are held together by ionic bonds; intermetallic compounds are held together by metallic bonds; coordination complexes are held together by coordinate covalent bonds. Non-stoichiometric compounds form a disputed marginal case. A chemical formula specifies the number of atoms of each element in a compound molecule, using the s ...

The name derives from the French Bourbon dynasty, although the precise source of inspiration is uncertain; contenders include Bourbon County in Kentucky and Bourbon Street in New Orleans, both of which are named after the dynasty.Kiniry, Laura.Where Bourbon Really Got Its Name and More Tips on America's Native Spirit. ''Smithsonian.com''. June 13, 2013. The name bourbon was not applied until the 1850s, and the Kentucky etymology was not advanced until the 1870s. Bourbon has been distilled since the 18th century. Although bourbon may be made anywhere in the United States, it is strongly associated with the American South in general, and with Kentucky in particular. As of 2014, distillers' wholesale market revenue for bourbon sold within the U.S. was about $2.7 billion, and bourbon made up about two thirds of the $1.6 billion of U.S. exports of distilled spirits. According to the Distilled Spirits C ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]

	Cyclotene 2-Hydroxy-3-methyl-2-cyclopenten-1-one is an organic compound related to 1,2-cyclopentanedione. It is the enol tautomer of the diketone 3-methylcyclopentane-1,2-dione. Being an enol, the compound is often called methylcyclopentenolone. It is a colorless solid. Synthesis and structure The compound is prepared by base-catalyzed condensation of 1‐hydroxyhexane‐2,5‐dione, a derivative of hydroxymethylfurfural. The structure has been confirmed by X-ray crystallography. Quantum calculations also indicate that the enol is strongly favored relative to the diketo tautomer. Furthermore, the enolization occurs at the methyl-substituted carbon. Use and occurrence It is one of many products from the pyrolysis of lignocellulose. It is used in flavors and perfumery for its maple- or caramel-like odor. It contributes to the flavor or odor of many foods including wines, coffee, paprika, and salmon. It is sometimes called maple lactone because it occurs in maple syrup (it is not, h ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
