CAS 35031-72-2: 1-(4-Ethoxyphenyl)-1-propanone
Description:1-(4-Ethoxyphenyl)-1-propanone, also known as ethyl 4-phenylacetone, is an organic compound characterized by its ketone functional group and an ethoxy substituent on the aromatic ring. It typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a sweet, pleasant odor. This compound is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. It is primarily used in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of various pharmaceuticals and fragrances. The presence of the ethoxy group enhances its reactivity, making it useful in electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions. Additionally, 1-(4-Ethoxyphenyl)-1-propanone may exhibit photochemical properties, which can be exploited in photoinitiators for polymerization processes. Safety data indicates that, like many organic solvents, it should be handled with care, as it may cause irritation to the skin and eyes. Proper storage in a cool, dry place away from light is recommended to maintain its stability.
