CAS 107075-95-6: 1-Propanone, 1-[2-(1-methylethyl)phenyl]-

Description:1-Propanone, 1-[2-(1-methylethyl)phenyl]- is an organic compound characterized by its ketone functional group, which is indicated by the presence of the propanone structure. This compound features a phenyl group substituted with an isopropyl group at the 2-position, contributing to its unique properties. It is typically a colorless liquid with a distinctive odor, and it is soluble in organic solvents while exhibiting limited solubility in water. The presence of the isopropyl group enhances its hydrophobic characteristics, making it more compatible with non-polar solvents. This compound may be used in various applications, including as an intermediate in organic synthesis or in the formulation of fragrances and flavorings. Its chemical behavior is influenced by the steric and electronic effects of the substituents, which can affect reactivity and stability. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance.
