1-(4-methylphenyl)butane-1,3-dione

Description:

1-(4-Methylphenyl)butane-1,3-dione, also known by its CAS number 4023-79-4, is an organic compound characterized by its diketone structure, featuring two carbonyl (C=O) groups located at the 1 and 3 positions of a butane chain. The presence of a para-methylphenyl group enhances its hydrophobic characteristics and contributes to its overall stability. This compound typically appears as a yellow to orange crystalline solid and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone, but has limited solubility in water due to its non-polar characteristics. It is often utilized in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. The compound's reactivity is influenced by the electron-donating methyl group, which can affect its behavior in chemical reactions, particularly in nucleophilic additions. Safety data should be consulted for handling, as diketones can pose health risks if inhaled or ingested.

1-(4-Methylphenyl)butane-1,3-dione is a pyrimidine derivative that is not active against bacteria. It is used as a tetrazolo and has been shown to be systemically active in mice. 1-(4-Methylphenyl)butane-1,3-dione has been shown to inhibit the production of DNA and RNA by inhibiting the activity of both bacterial DNA gyrase and protein synthesis. This drug degrades into water and carbon dioxide, which may provide an explanation for its lack of antibacterial properties.
