1,2-Dimethoxy-4-(methoxymethyl)benzene

Description:

1,2-Dimethoxy-4-(methoxymethyl)benzene, also known by its CAS number 3840-28-6, is an organic compound belonging to the class of methoxy-substituted aromatic compounds. It features a benzene ring with two methoxy groups (-OCH3) positioned at the 1 and 2 positions, and a methoxymethyl group (-OCH2CH3) at the 4 position. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic aromatic odor. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. The presence of multiple methoxy groups enhances its reactivity and potential applications in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Additionally, its structure may influence its physical properties, such as boiling point and melting point, making it a subject of interest in various chemical research fields. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this compound, as with many organic chemicals, due to potential toxicity and environmental impact.
