METHYL 4-(4-(TERT-BUTYL)PHENYL)-4-OXOBUTANOATE

Description:

Methyl 4-(4-(tert-butyl)phenyl)-4-oxobutanoate, identified by its CAS number 1268027-47-9, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group and a ketone moiety. This compound features a tert-butyl group, which contributes to its hydrophobic nature and steric bulk, influencing its reactivity and solubility in organic solvents. The presence of the phenyl group enhances its aromatic characteristics, potentially affecting its electronic properties and stability. Methyl 4-(4-(tert-butyl)phenyl)-4-oxobutanoate is likely to exhibit moderate to low polarity due to the combination of its hydrophobic tert-butyl group and the polar ester and ketone functionalities. This compound may be utilized in various applications, including organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals. Its specific reactivity and behavior in chemical reactions would depend on the conditions and the presence of other reagents. Safety data and handling precautions should be consulted, as with any chemical substance, to ensure proper usage and minimize risks.
