CAS 3077-71-2
:Hydroperoxide, 1-methyl-1-(4-methylphenyl)ethyl
Description:
Hydroperoxide, 1-methyl-1-(4-methylphenyl)ethyl, also known by its CAS number 3077-71-2, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a hydroperoxide functional group (-OOH) attached to a tertiary carbon. This compound features a bulky substituent, specifically a 4-methylphenyl group, which contributes to its steric properties and reactivity. Hydroperoxides are known for their potential as oxidizing agents, and this particular compound may exhibit both radical and electrophilic behavior due to the presence of the hydroperoxide moiety. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinct odor, and it may be sensitive to heat and light, which can lead to decomposition. As with many hydroperoxides, it requires careful handling due to its potential for explosive decomposition under certain conditions. Its applications may include use in organic synthesis, polymerization processes, or as a reagent in various chemical reactions. Safety precautions are essential when working with this compound due to its reactive nature.
