Description:1,4-Diphenylbut-2-yne-1,4-dione, with the CAS number 1087-09-8, is an organic compound characterized by its diketone structure, featuring two phenyl groups attached to a butyne backbone. This compound exhibits a conjugated system, which contributes to its potential for strong UV absorption and distinct color properties. It is typically a solid at room temperature and may appear as a yellow to orange crystalline substance. The presence of the diketone functional groups allows for reactivity typical of carbonyl compounds, including nucleophilic addition and condensation reactions. Additionally, its structure suggests potential applications in organic synthesis, materials science, and as a dye or pigment due to its chromophoric properties. The compound's stability and reactivity can be influenced by the substituents on the phenyl rings and the overall electronic environment. Safety data should be consulted for handling, as with many organic compounds, it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled.
