CAS 4668-64-8

2-(2-Methylpropyl)cyclohexanone

Description:

2-(2-Methylpropyl)cyclohexanone, with the CAS number 4668-64-8, is a cyclic ketone characterized by a cyclohexane ring substituted with a 2-methylpropyl group and a carbonyl functional group (C=O). This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits moderate polarity due to the presence of the carbonyl group. The molecular structure contributes to its relatively high boiling point compared to non-polar hydrocarbons of similar molecular weight. 2-(2-Methylpropyl)cyclohexanone is used in various applications, including as an intermediate in organic synthesis and in the production of fragrances and flavoring agents. Its reactivity is influenced by the ketone functional group, making it susceptible to nucleophilic addition reactions. Safety data indicates that, like many organic solvents, it should be handled with care, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested. Proper storage and handling protocols are essential to ensure safety in laboratory and industrial settings.
