CAS 4198-72-5
:Hydroperoxide, 1-methyl-1-(3-methylphenyl)ethyl
Description:
Hydroperoxide, 1-methyl-1-(3-methylphenyl)ethyl, also known by its CAS number 4198-72-5, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a hydroperoxide functional group (-OOH) attached to a branched alkyl chain. This compound typically exhibits properties associated with hydroperoxides, such as being a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. It is known for its reactivity, particularly in oxidation reactions, and can act as a radical initiator in polymerization processes. The presence of the 3-methylphenyl group contributes to its hydrophobic nature, influencing its solubility in organic solvents rather than in water. Hydroperoxides are generally sensitive to heat and light, which can lead to decomposition, releasing oxygen and potentially hazardous byproducts. Safety precautions are essential when handling this compound due to its reactive nature and potential to form explosive mixtures under certain conditions. As with many organic peroxides, it is crucial to store it in a cool, dark place to maintain stability.
