1-(2,4-DICHLOROPHENYL)-2-HYDROXYETHANONE

Description:
1-(2,4-Dichlorophenyl)-2-hydroxyethanone, with the CAS number 137958-96-4, is an organic compound characterized by its functional groups, including a hydroxyl group (-OH) and a ketone group (C=O), attached to a hydrocarbon chain. The presence of the dichlorophenyl moiety indicates that the compound has two chlorine atoms substituted on a phenyl ring, specifically at the 2 and 4 positions, which can significantly influence its chemical reactivity and biological activity. This compound is typically a solid at room temperature and may exhibit moderate solubility in organic solvents. Its structure suggests potential applications in pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals, as compounds with similar structures often possess antimicrobial or herbicidal properties. Additionally, the presence of chlorine atoms can enhance lipophilicity, affecting the compound's distribution and metabolism in biological systems. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure risks, as halogenated compounds can exhibit toxicity and environmental persistence.
