2-methyl-1-(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)propan-1-one

Description:
2-Methyl-1-(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)propan-1-one, also known as a type of ketone, is characterized by its structure that includes a propanone backbone with a methyl group and a bulky 2,4,6-trimethylphenyl substituent. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a sweet, pleasant odor, making it useful in various applications, including as a fragrance or flavoring agent. It has a relatively low boiling point compared to larger organic compounds, which contributes to its volatility. The presence of the trimethylphenyl group enhances its hydrophobic properties, making it less soluble in water but more soluble in organic solvents. This compound is often utilized in the synthesis of other organic materials and can act as a photoinitiator in polymerization processes. Safety data indicates that it should be handled with care, as it may cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes and should be used in well-ventilated areas to avoid inhalation of vapors.
