'''Fructone''' is the organic compound with the formula {{chem2|CH3C(O2C2H4)CH2CO2C2H5}} It is the ketal derived from the condensation of ethyl acetoacetate and ethylene glycol. Also known as '''apple ketal''' and '''applinal''', it has a fruity, apple-like smell with pineapple, strawberry, and woody aspects reminiscent of pine trees (described as "sweet, fruity, apple, green, tropical, plum, woody").<ref>{{cite web |title=apple ketal|url=https://scentsandflavors.com/database/9dbb5134-74e3-468e-ae3a-64b41d0d9104|website=Scents and Flavors |publisher=Scents and Flavors |access-date=1 April 2026}}</ref> It is a commercial fragrance.<ref>{{cite book |doi=10.1002/14356007.t11_t02 |chapter=Flavors and Fragrances, 3.
