Description:3'-Hydroxypropiophenone, with the CAS number 13103-80-5, is an organic compound that belongs to the class of ketones. It features a hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to the aromatic ring, specifically at the para position relative to the ketone functional group. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white crystalline solid and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone, but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic structure. The presence of both the hydroxyl and carbonyl groups contributes to its reactivity, making it useful in various chemical syntheses and applications, including as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Additionally, 3'-Hydroxypropiophenone can participate in various chemical reactions, such as oxidation and condensation, which further enhances its utility in organic synthesis. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with all chemical substances, to ensure proper precautions are taken.
