Cyclohexanone, 4-(methoxymethyl)-

Description:
Cyclohexanone, 4-(methoxymethyl)-, also known by its CAS number 17159-84-1, is an organic compound characterized by a cyclohexanone ring with a methoxymethyl substituent at the 4-position. This compound is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor, typical of ketones. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic cyclohexane structure. The presence of the methoxymethyl group enhances its reactivity, making it useful in various chemical synthesis applications, including as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Cyclohexanone derivatives are known for their ability to participate in nucleophilic addition reactions, and the methoxymethyl group can undergo further transformations, such as hydrolysis or methanolysis. Safety data indicates that, like many organic solvents, it should be handled with care, as it may cause irritation to the skin and eyes and has potential health risks if inhaled or ingested.
