1,2-Bis(4-methylphenyl)ethanone

Description:
1,2-Bis(4-methylphenyl)ethanone, also known as benzoin, is an organic compound characterized by its ketone functional groups and a central ethane backbone. It features two para-methylphenyl groups attached to a carbonyl carbon, contributing to its aromatic properties. This compound typically appears as a solid at room temperature and is known for its crystalline structure. It is relatively stable under standard conditions but may undergo photochemical reactions when exposed to UV light. The presence of the methyl groups enhances its solubility in organic solvents while influencing its reactivity. 1,2-Bis(4-methylphenyl)ethanone is often utilized in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of polymers and as a photoinitiator in UV-curable coatings. Its applications extend to the field of materials science and photochemistry. 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 and efficacy.
