2,3-Dimethylcyclohexanone is a cyclic ketone characterized by a six-membered carbon ring with two methyl groups attached to the second and third carbon atoms. This compound has a molecular formula of C10H18O and features a carbonyl group (C=O) that contributes to its reactivity and properties. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor, and it is soluble in organic solvents while exhibiting limited solubility in water. The presence of the ketone functional group makes it a useful intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of various pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals. Its boiling point and melting point are influenced by the steric hindrance introduced by the methyl groups, which can affect its physical properties. Additionally, 2,3-Dimethylcyclohexanone can participate in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic additions and reductions, making it a versatile compound in synthetic organic chemistry. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with all chemical substances.

<p>2,3-Dimethylcyclohexan-1-one is a synthetic compound that belongs to the group of enolates. This molecule can be synthesized from 2,3-dimethylcyclohexane by alkylation with bromide and then reduction with sodium borohydride. It has anti-inflammatory properties that are due to its ability to inhibit prostaglandin synthesis. The levorotatory form is more active than the dextrorotatory form. Kinetic studies have shown that the stereoselectivity is dependent on the solvent and temperature used in the reaction.</p>
