1-(2,6-Dimethoxyphenyl)ethanone

Description:

1-(2,6-Dimethoxyphenyl)ethanone, also known as 2,6-Dimethoxyacetophenone, is an organic compound characterized by its ketone functional group and a substituted aromatic ring. It features a phenyl group with two methoxy (-OCH₃) substituents at the 2 and 6 positions, which influence its chemical reactivity and physical properties. This compound typically appears as a pale yellow to light brown solid or liquid, depending on its purity and form. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic structure. The presence of methoxy groups enhances its electron-donating properties, which can affect its reactivity in electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions. Additionally, 1-(2,6-Dimethoxyphenyl)ethanone is often utilized in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its safety profile should be considered, as with all chemical substances, and appropriate handling procedures should be followed to mitigate any potential hazards.

2',6'-Dimethoxyacetophenone

CAS: 2040-04-2

2',6'-Dimethoxyacetophenone is a synthetic flavonoid that has been shown to be an anticarcinogenic. This compound is synthesized by cyclodehydration of 2,6-dimethoxybenzaldehyde with hydrochloric acid in the presence of magnesium chloride as a catalyst. The resulting product is then converted to 2',6'-dimethoxyacetophenone by acidic hydrolysis. 2',6'-Dimethoxyacetophenone can also be obtained through Wittig reaction of chlorides and magnesium or via phosphoranes synthesis using magnesium and cyanide as starting materials. This compound can also be produced by benzoylation of styrene followed by chalcone synthesis.
