:3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1-phenylpropan-1-one
Description:
3-(4-Methoxyphenyl)-1-phenylpropan-1-one, also known as 4-Methoxy-α-phenylacetophenone, is an organic compound characterized by its ketone functional group and aromatic structure. It features a propanone backbone with two phenyl groups and a methoxy substituent on one of the phenyl rings, contributing to its chemical properties. This compound is typically a white to off-white crystalline solid and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone, but has limited solubility in water. It is often used in organic synthesis and as a photoinitiator in polymer chemistry due to its ability to absorb UV light and initiate polymerization reactions. The presence of the methoxy group enhances its electron-donating properties, influencing its reactivity and stability. As with many organic compounds, safety precautions should be taken when handling it, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled. Proper storage in a cool, dry place away from light is recommended to maintain its integrity.
