2-Hydroxy-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)ethanone

Description:
2-Hydroxy-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)ethanone, also known as p-methoxyacetophenone, is an organic compound characterized by its ketone and alcohol functional groups. It features a hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to a carbon adjacent to a carbonyl group (C=O), which is part of an acetophenone structure. This compound typically appears as a white to pale yellow solid and is soluble in organic solvents like ethanol and acetone, but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic ring. The presence of the methoxy group (-OCH3) enhances its electron-donating properties, influencing its reactivity and interactions in various chemical reactions, such as electrophilic aromatic substitution. It is often used in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals, fragrances, and other fine chemicals. Additionally, its structural features may impart specific biological activities, making it of interest in medicinal chemistry. Proper handling and safety measures should be observed, as with all chemical substances, due to potential health hazards.
