Abstract: Aims. As one of the prime targets of interstellar chemistry study, Orion BN/KL clearly shows different molecular distributions between large nitrogen- (e.g., C2H5CN) and oxygen-bearing (e.g., HCOOCH3) molecules. However, acetone (CH3)2CO, a special complex O-bearing molecule, has been shown to have a very different distribution from other typical O-bearing molecules in the BN/KL region. Therefore, it is worth investigating acetone in detail at high angular resolutions, which will help us understand the formation of this molecule and its chemical role in the complex BN/KL region.
