  "term": "Tropolones",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A class of non-benzenoid aromatic compounds characterized by a seven-membered ring containing three double bonds, a ketone group, and a hydroxyl group adjacent to the ketone. The hydroxyl group is typically enolic, leading to tautomerism. These compounds are found in natural products and exhibit interesting chemical properties due to their unique electronic structure.",
