Cyclopropenone is an organic compound with molecular formula C3H2O consisting of a cyclopropene carbon framework with a ketone functional group. It is a colorless, volatile liquid that boils near room temperature.[1] Neat cyclopropenone polymerizes upon standing at room temperature,[2] and chemical vendors typically supply it as an acetal.[3] The chemical properties of the compound are dominated by the strong polarization of the carbonyl group, which gives a partial positive charge with aromatic stabilization on the ring and a partial negative charge on oxygen. It is an aromatic compound.[4][5]

Dimethyl cyclopropenone ketal is less stable than the corresponding cyclic ketal derivatives....A direct route to cyclopropenone is the hydrolysis of 3,3‑dimethoxycyclopropene.

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
