Description:1-(2-Ethoxyphenyl)ethanone, also known by its CAS number 2142-67-8, is an organic compound characterized by its ketone functional group and an ethoxy-substituted phenyl ring. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive aromatic odor. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. The presence of the ethoxy group enhances its lipophilicity, making it useful in various organic synthesis applications. 1-(2-Ethoxyphenyl)ethanone can participate in electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions, and its ketone functionality allows for further transformations, such as reduction or condensation reactions. It is often utilized in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other fine chemicals. Safety data indicates that, like many organic solvents and compounds, it should be handled with care, using appropriate personal protective equipment to avoid inhalation or skin contact.
