(+)-3-Methylcyclohexanone is a cyclic ketone characterized by its six-membered carbon ring with a methyl group and a carbonyl group (C=O) attached to the third carbon. This compound is a chiral molecule, meaning it exists in two enantiomeric forms, with the (+) designation indicating its specific optical activity. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor, reminiscent of ketones. The compound is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic cyclohexane structure. Its boiling point and melting point are influenced by the presence of the methyl group, which affects the overall molecular interactions. (+)-3-Methylcyclohexanone is used in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of various chemicals, including fragrances and pharmaceuticals. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this substance, as it may cause irritation to the skin and eyes, and inhalation of vapors should be avoided.
