4-Methylphenylacetone

Description:

4-Methylphenylacetone, also known as p-Methylphenylacetone or 4-Methyl-1-phenyl-2-butanone, is an organic compound with the chemical formula C11H14O. It is characterized by a ketone functional group, specifically a carbonyl group (C=O) flanked by a methyl group and a phenyl group. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a sweet, floral odor, making it useful in the fragrance industry. It has a moderate boiling point and is soluble in organic solvents, but has limited solubility in water. 4-Methylphenylacetone is primarily used as an intermediate in the synthesis of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Additionally, it has gained attention due to its potential use in illicit drug synthesis, which has led to regulatory scrutiny in some regions. Safety considerations include handling it in well-ventilated areas and using appropriate personal protective equipment, as it may pose health risks upon exposure.

4-Methylphenylacetone is a chemical intermediate that is used in the synthesis of many pharmaceuticals. It is a colorless liquid with a fruity odor. 4-Methylphenylacetone is prepared by the cross-coupling reaction of ethyl acetoacetate and 2,6-dimethylaniline. This chemical can be dehydrogenated to form phenylacetic acid and methyl phenyl ketone. The wild type mice had higher levels of dopamine than the mutant mice. 4-Methylphenylacetone has been shown to have an ability to act as a pharmacological agent in relation to its inhibition of dopamine receptors.
