2-(4-methylphenyl)-1-phenylethanone

Description:
2-(4-Methylphenyl)-1-phenylethanone, also known as benzyl methyl ketone, is an organic compound characterized by its ketone functional group. It features a central carbonyl group (C=O) flanked by two aromatic rings, specifically a phenyl group and a para-methyl-substituted phenyl group. This structure contributes to its relatively high stability and moderate reactivity, typical of ketones. The compound is generally a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant aromatic odor, making it useful in various applications, including as a flavoring agent and in fragrance formulations. It has a moderate boiling point and is soluble in organic solvents, but less so in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic nature. Additionally, 2-(4-methylphenyl)-1-phenylethanone can undergo typical reactions of ketones, such as oxidation and reduction, and may participate in electrophilic aromatic substitution due to the presence of the aromatic rings. Safety data should be consulted for handling, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled.
