Diketene is an organic compound formed by dimerization of ketene. Diketene is a member of the oxetane family. It is used as a chemical reagent in organic chemistry[1]. It is a colorless liquid and heating regenerates the ketene monomer.

Alkylated ketenes also dimerize with ease and form substituted diketenes. Diketenes react with alcohols and amines to the corresponding acetoacetic acids. In example is the reaction with 2-aminoindane[2]
