Deltic acid or dihydroxycyclopropenone is a chemical substance with the chemical formula C3O(OH)2. It can be viewed as a ketone and double alcohol of cyclopropene. At room temperature it is a stable white solid soluble in diethyl ether that decomposes (sometimes explosively) between 140 °C and 180 °C and reacts slowly with water.The synthesis of deltic acid was first described in 1975 by David Eggerding and Robert West.
