Based on the SMILES representation CCC(=O)CO, the molecule can be described by:
The molecule is a primary alpha-hydroxy ketone that is butane-1,2-diol in which the hydroxy group at position 2 has been formally oxidised to give the corresponding ketone. It derives from a butan-2-one and a butane-1,2-diol.
