CAS 4079-52-1: 2-Methoxy-1-phenylethanone
Description:2-Methoxy-1-phenylethanone, also known as benzyl methyl ether or by its IUPAC name, is an organic compound characterized by its ketone functional group and methoxy substituent. It features a phenyl group attached to a carbon chain that includes a methoxy group (-OCH3) and a carbonyl group (C=O). This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a sweet, aromatic odor. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. 2-Methoxy-1-phenylethanone is often used in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of various pharmaceuticals and fragrances. Its reactivity is influenced by the presence of the carbonyl group, making it susceptible to nucleophilic attack. Safety data indicates that it should be handled with care, as it may cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes. Proper storage in a cool, dry place away from light is recommended to maintain its stability.
