Description:3,3-Dimethyl-1-phenylbutan-2-one, with the CAS number 21717-95-3, is an organic compound belonging to the class of ketones. It features a phenyl group attached to a butanone backbone, specifically at the first carbon, with two methyl groups at the third carbon. This structure contributes to its unique physical and chemical properties. The compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic odor. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. The presence of the ketone functional group makes it susceptible to nucleophilic attack, and it can participate in various chemical reactions, including oxidation and reduction. 3,3-Dimethyl-1-phenylbutan-2-one is often used in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals and other chemical compounds. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with many organic solvents and reagents, to ensure proper precautions are taken.
