6,6-dimethylbicyclo[3.1.1]heptan-2-one

Description:

6,6-Dimethylbicyclo[3.1.1]heptan-2-one, with the CAS number 24903-95-5, is a bicyclic ketone characterized by its unique structural framework, which consists of a bicyclo[3.1.1]heptane core with two methyl groups attached to the sixth carbon and a ketone functional group at the second carbon. This compound typically exhibits a colorless to pale yellow appearance and possesses a distinctive odor. It is relatively stable under standard conditions but may undergo reactions typical of ketones, such as nucleophilic addition and oxidation. The presence of the bicyclic structure contributes to its rigidity and influences its reactivity and physical properties, such as boiling and melting points. Additionally, it is important in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of various chemical compounds. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with any chemical substance, to ensure proper precautions are taken.
