Deltic acid (also known as dihydroxycyclopropenone or trianglic acid) is a chemical substance with the chemical formula C3O(OH)2. It can be viewed as a ketone and double enol 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.
