1-(3-Hydroxy-4-methylphenyl)-1-propanone

Description:

1-(3-Hydroxy-4-methylphenyl)-1-propanone, also known as a derivative of acetophenone, is an organic compound characterized by its ketone functional group and a hydroxyl group attached to a phenyl ring. This compound typically appears as a solid or liquid, depending on the specific conditions, and is soluble in organic solvents. Its molecular structure features a propanone backbone with a hydroxyl group at the para position relative to a methyl group on the aromatic ring, which can influence its reactivity and interaction with other substances. The presence of the hydroxyl group imparts some polar characteristics, making it more hydrophilic compared to other ketones without such functional groups. This compound may be used in various applications, including as an intermediate in organic synthesis, in the production of dyes, or in the formulation of fragrances. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance, to ensure proper safety measures are taken during its use.
