My compund name is di-tert-butyl-ketone.

I am a ketone which is surrounded by 2 tert butyl groups which results in high


amount of
steric hinderence in comparison to acetone and propanone.
This also results in a higher +I effect than acetaldehyde and acetone.
Therefore, i am least reactive towards Nucleophilic Addition Reaction as compared
to propanone and others.
