Isopropenyl acetate is an organic compound, which is the acetate ester of the enol tautomer of acetone. This colorless liquid is significant commercially as the principal precursor to acetylacetone. In organic synthesis, it is used to prepare enol acetates of ketones and acetonides from diols.[1]
Preparation and reactions[edit]
Isopropenyl acetate is prepared by treating acetone with ketene.[2] Upon heating over a metal surface, isopropenyl acetate rearranges to acetylacetone.[3]
Isopropenyl acetate is used to prepare other isopropenyl esters by transesterification.[4]

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.
