CAS 112091-20-0

1-[(2-Methylphenyl)thio]-2-propanone

Description:

1-[(2-Methylphenyl)thio]-2-propanone, also known by its CAS number 112091-20-0, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a thioether functional group and a ketone. This compound features a propanone backbone with a 2-methylphenyl group attached via a sulfur atom, which contributes to its unique chemical properties. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. The presence of the thioether group can influence its reactivity, making it susceptible to nucleophilic attack, while the ketone functionality allows for various chemical transformations, including oxidation and reduction reactions. This compound may be used in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of other chemicals. Its solubility in organic solvents and relatively low boiling point suggest it may be volatile. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as compounds containing sulfur and ketone groups can pose health risks if not managed properly.
