(2S,5S)-2-Methyl-5-(1-methylethyl)cyclohexanone

Description:

(2S,5S)-2-Methyl-5-(1-methylethyl)cyclohexanone, with the CAS number 13163-73-0, is a cyclic ketone characterized by its unique stereochemistry and branched alkyl substituents. This compound features a cyclohexanone ring, which is a six-membered carbon ring containing a carbonyl group (C=O) at one position. The presence of the methyl and isopropyl groups at the 2 and 5 positions, respectively, contributes to its distinct physical and chemical properties, including its boiling point, melting point, and solubility in various solvents. As a ketone, it is expected to exhibit typical reactivity associated with carbonyl compounds, such as nucleophilic addition and oxidation reactions. The stereochemistry indicated by the (2S,5S) configuration suggests specific spatial arrangements of the substituents, which can influence the compound's reactivity and interactions with biological systems. This compound may find applications in organic synthesis, fragrance formulation, or as an intermediate in the production of other chemical entities.
