2,6-Dimethylcyclohexanone

Description:
2,6-Dimethylcyclohexanone is a cyclic ketone characterized by its six-membered carbon ring with two methyl groups attached at the 2 and 6 positions. This compound has a molecular formula of C10H18O and features a carbonyl group (C=O) that contributes to its ketone classification. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor, often described as sweet or pleasant. The compound is relatively non-polar, which influences its solubility in organic solvents while being less soluble in water. Its boiling point is higher than that of many simple hydrocarbons due to the presence of the carbonyl group, which can engage in dipole-dipole interactions. 2,6-Dimethylcyclohexanone is used in various applications, including as a solvent and in the synthesis of other organic compounds. Safety considerations include handling it in well-ventilated areas and using appropriate personal protective equipment, as it may cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes.
